## Summary:
Solar activity was at minor levels during this reporting period. There were 6 C-type CMEs (see details below).
Based on preliminary analysis by the Moon to Mars Space Weather Analysis Office and heliospheric modeling carried out at NASA Community Coordinated Modeling Center, it was estimated that the following CMEs were predicted to impact missions near Earth:
CME Starting time | Predicted Impacts (plus minus 7 hours)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2026-08-14T05:09Z NASA missions near Earth at 2026-08-17T00:00Z (minor impact), Kp index 3-5 (below minor to minor)
(see notification 20260814-AL-001).
The arrival of this CME was likely detected at L1 around 2026-08-17T11:04Z.
It was also estimated that the following CMEs were predicted to impact the listed locations:
CME Starting time | Predicted Impacts (plus minus 7 hours)

2026-08-14T05:09Z Parker Solar Probe at 2026-08-15T19:40Z, Europa Clipper at 2026-08-17T18:00Z (glancing blow), Juice at 2026-08-17T16:00Z (glancing blow), OSIRIS-APEX at 2026-08-18T00:00Z (glancing blow), STEREO A at 2026-08-17T20:00Z (glancing blow) (see notification 20260814-AL-001).
2026-08-14T07:38Z Mars at 2026-08-19T20:00Z (glancing blow), Parker Solar Probe at 2026-08-16T02:00Z (glancing blow), Psyche at 2026-08-19T23:00Z (glancing blow), STEREO A at 2026-08-17T12:00Z (glancing blow) (see notification 20260814-AL-002).
2026-08-14T12:23Z BepiColombo at 2026-08-15T09:58Z, Psyche at 2026-08-20T16:00Z (glancing blow), Juno at 2026-08-31T06:00Z (minor impact) (see notifications 20260814-AL-003, 20260814-AL-004).
2026-08-14T18:23Z BepiColombo at 2026-08-15T13:26Z, Mars at 2026-08-19T11:46Z, Psyche at 2026-08-19T09:55Z, STEREO A at 2026-08-18T12:00Z (glancing blow), Juno at 2026-09-01T12:00Z (glancing blow) (see notification 20260814-AL-005).
2026-08-17T18:45Z STEREO A at 2026-08-20T17:06Z, Mars at 2026-08-22T19:00Z (glancing blow), Psyche at 2026-08-23T02:00Z (glancing blow) (see notification 20260818-AL-001).
Geomagnetic activity was at minor levels with Kp index (a measure of geomagnetic activity, ranging 0-9) <= 5.33 for the reporting period. The highest value of Kp = 5.33 occurred during the synoptic period of 2026-08-18T18:00Z to 2026-08-18T21:00Z. This enhancement in geomagnetic activity was associated with the arrival of a coronal hole high speed stream detected at L1 by SOLAR-1 on 2026-08-18. An earlier period of minor geomagnetic activity with Kp index = 5.00 occurred during the synoptic period of 2026-08-18T03:00Z to 2026-08-18T06:00Z, associated with the interplanetary shock detected at L1 by SOLAR-1 at 2026-08-17T11:04Z which was likely associated with the arrival of the S-Type CME first seen in STEREO A COR2 at 2026-08-14T05:09Z.
The > 2.0 MeV energetic electron flux detected at GOES remained below the threshold level of 1000 pfu for the entire reporting period.
The energetic proton flux of >10 MeV protons detected at GOES and the flux of one or more of the >15.8 MeV proton channels at SOHO were at near-background levels for the entire reporting period. The 13-100 MeV protons at STEREO A were at background levels for the entire reporting period.
Space Weather Impact:
Space weather impacts on NASA spacecraft are expected to have been low this reporting period.

## Space Weather Outlook:

## Outlook Coverage End Date: 2026-08-25T23:59Z
Solar activity is expected to be at low and moderate levels during the outlook period. There are currently four numbered Active Regions on the Earth-facing disk. Active Regions 14506 (N12W82), 14507 (N04W65), and 14510 (N12W90) produced C-class flaring activity in the reporting period and may continue to produce similar levels of flaring activity during the outlook period. An unnumbered region located at approximately N05E85 produced an M1.0 class flare peaking at 2026-08-19T18:51Z during the outlook period and may continue to produce similar levels of flaring activity during the reporting period.
Geomagnetic activity is expected to be at low to moderate levels during the outlook period. A coronal hole centered around N28W25 (as seen in available imagery from SDO/AIA 193) may reach geoeffective longitudes on or around 2026-08-19.
