Geomagnetic storms can also damagethe ability of satellites to send signals to each other or to Earth using radio waves. Many communication technologies, such as GPS, use radio waves. GPS is used in many industries such as aviation, maritime, robotics, transportation, agriculture, and the military, relying on radio waves.
Science Times previously reported that in early 2022Elon Musk's SpaceX suffered from the effects of solar flares. After a geomagnetic storm interrupted the operation of about 40 Starlink satellites, the corporation replaced almost all of them. Starlink satellites are small in size, but they are powered by giant solar panels, giving each of the company's spacecraft a powerful boost of power.
The sun continuously emits a constant streamcharged particles into space. A geomagnetic storm develops when the Earth is in a direction in the path of a strong magnetic flux. The two most common sources of geomagnetic storms are plasma explosions from the surface of the Sun and the solar magnetic flux that escapes through regions of low density in the Sun's outer atmosphere.
Instrumentation experts can mitigate the effects of geomagnetic storms by using radiation-resistant materials or by blocking the effect of magnetic waves on electronics from radiation.
