Space Weather Effects on Technology
Valtonen, Eino
Space weather effects on technology are discussed. After a brief general overview of the consequences of space weather on various technologies and a summary of the space environment, the effects of plasmas and particle radiation on systems in space are considered in more detail. The processes responsible for spacecraft surface charging and interna…
Interplanetary Disturbances
Wimmer-Schweingruber, Robert F.
The Sun emits the variable solar wind which interacts with the very local interstellar medium to form the heliosphere. Hence variations in solar activity strongly influence interplanetary space, from the Suns surface out to the edge of the heliosphere. Superimposed on the solar wind are mass ejections from the Sun and/or its corona which disturb t…
