## Summary:
C-type CME detected by STEREO A / GOES / SOHO.
Start time of the event: 2026-08-09T04:24Z.
Estimated speed: ~781 km/s.
Estimated opening half-angle: 25 deg.
Direction (lon./lat.): -76/24 in Heliocentric Earth Equatorial coordinates.
Activity ID: 2026-08-09T04:24:00-CME-001
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 is estimated that the CME may impact Europa Clipper (glancing blow) and Solar Orbiter (glancing blow). The flank of the CME will reach Europa Clipper at 2026-08-13T07:00Z and Solar Orbiter at 2026-08-10T02:00Z (plus minus 7 hours).
