## Summary:

C-type CME detected by STEREO A / SOHO. 

Start time of the event: 2023-03-20T14:42Z.

Estimated speed: ~749 km/s.

Estimated opening half-angle: 45 deg.

Direction (lon./lat.): -40/27 in Heliocentric Earth Equatorial coordinates.

Activity ID: 2023-03-20T14:42:00-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 this CME may affect Mars, Solar Orbiter, STEREO A, and Lucy (minor impact).  The leading edge of the CME will reach Mars at 2023-03-25T22:16Z, Solar Orbiter at 2023-03-21T22:07Z, STEREO A at 2023-03-23T11:42Z, and Lucy at 2023-03-25T23:00Z (plus minus 7 hours). 

The simulation also indicates that the CME may impact NASA missions near Earth. Simulations indicate that the leading edge of the CME will reach NASA missions near Earth at about 2023-03-23T17:44Z (plus minus 7 hours). The roughly estimated expected range of the maximum Kp index is 3-5 (below minor to minor).
