Do not let the storm 'blow' on th e sun, the satellite will have to be kept an eye: Study
Satellites play many important roles, from communication to navigation on Earth. Therefore, it's important to grasp what can harm them to this point from the bottom and who is in danger. A study by Indian scientists has described how the Sun's atmosphere affects the space weather where these satellites are orbiting.
The good thing is that the information from India's first solar mission Aditya-L1, which can start soon, are ready to make the effect on the Sun's atmosphere and satellites more clear.
According to The Weather Channel, the region of space near the planet and the solar winds determine the weather of space. This will have a sway on the performance of space instruments and on the technical systems located on Earth. Space weather near Earth is set by CME (Coronal Mass Ejection). it's the magnetized plasma produced by the explosions on the sun, which travels in space and comes towards the planet.
In the latest study, the team of Dr. Vagish Mishra of the Indian Institute of Astrophysics showed that the properties of plasma and the time to succeed in Earth are often different. Different CMEs and ICMEs (interplanetary counterparts of CMEs) arriving at different places in space were studied. one amongst these ICMEs reached Earth on 11 March and one on 6 August 2011.
At the time of their arrival at different places in space, the features of the plasma and the field were studied. The team found that the solar radiation blows from the sun, within which charged particles come, and their effect varies from place to position. The study says that it's a giant challenge to accurately determine the time of CME's arrival and its weather in space and it can have an effect on the satellite.
