a. ISRO
b. Texas University
c. IIT-Kanpur
d. NASA

ANSWER: NASA
 
The model is now undergoing testing, but if it’s robust, then scientists might finally have a tool to predict a CME’s magnetic configuration from afar. This means forecasters could give utility grid and satellite operators a full 24-hour advance warning to protect their systems – crucial time to protect their assets.
