Three trail-blazing satellites were fired into Earth orbit this morning to prove if TV-sized probes can serve as formation-flying buoys for monitoring the weather of space and the enormous storms spawned by the sun.

NASA's high-risk Space Technology 5 mission is spending $130 million to test the concepts for building and operating miniaturized micro-sats before entrusting such techniques in science missions of the future.
