  • The spacecraft themselves continued to operate normally in Earth orbit during the outage and "no science data has been lost."

The NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) has resumed operations after a temporary shutdown caused by flooding at a data center in Maryland. The incident occurred in early 2024, leading to a brief interruption in the collection of solar data. The SDO, which has been observing the Sun since 2010, plays a crucial role in monitoring solar activities, including solar flares and coronal mass ejections, which can impact Earth's space weather. NASA teams worked diligently to restore the facility, ensuring that the SDO could continue its vital mission of providing real-time solar data to scientists and researchers worldwide. The quick response and recovery efforts highlight NASA's commitment to maintaining continuous observation of our star, the Sun.
