Solar weather reports key to safe space travel
Newcastle, England (UPI) Jul 30, 2015
Researchers in England are looking ahead to a world where solar and space weather forecasting is nearly as important as weather patterns and predictions on Earth's surface. Better predicting how the sun's electromagnetic behavior influences space weather will become more important, scientists say, as activities like space tourism, asteroid mining and manned space travel become more common. In the United States, scientists at the Space Weather Prediction Center, run by the National Oceani ... read more
