[Virtual Presenter] Safety has always been of utmost importance particularly when it comes to space technology. We can examine how space weather can influence this technology..

[Audio] As the development of space technology has progressed in recent years it has made space exploration possible. To maintain this progress safety precautions must be taken when entering the unknown realm of space. Space weather is a central factor in ensuring the wellbeing of astronauts and their equipment during space missions allowing us to further understand the conditions of space and keep space missions safe. With this knowledge both manned and unmanned space missions will be more secure..

[Audio] Satellite technology has become integral to our daily lives. Powerful satellites provide us with the ability to monitor the Earth's environment and its changing conditions. This information is essential for gauging potential consequences of space weather which can have a major impact on our well-being. The following table offers a few examples of space weather factors which can help us comprehend the modifications to our environment..

[Audio] Space weather is a powerful natural phenomenon that can cause a range of disruptions on Earth from minor fluctuations in the electric power grid to widespread satellite outages communication blackouts and even damage to sensitive electronic equipment. By paying close attention to space weather activities and ensuring our spacecraft satellites and other systems are ready for the changes in conditions we can reduce the chances of disruption and ensure our safety in space is paramount." Space weather is a very real phenomenon that has an effect on us here on Earth. From fluctuating power grids to satellite outages communication blackouts and even electronic equipment damage the activity in space has real consequences. By monitoring the conditions in space and ensuring our spacecrafts satellites and other systems are prepared we can reduce the risk of disruption and ensure safety in space..

[Audio] Considering safety in space we must account for various energy flux and objects that can be both natural and man-made. This includes the Solar Wind Cosmic Rays Asteroids Meteoroids Comets Operational spacecraft large constellations and space debris items that are no longer of any use..

[Audio] This table displays the risks of storms geomagnetic storms solar radiation storms and radio blackouts. All of these have the potential to negatively affect the success and safety of space missions as well as the health and wellbeing of astronauts and machines. As such safety measures should be implemented for both manned and unmanned space operations to protect against the risks outlined in the table..

[Audio] Space technology exploration requires a clear comprehension of the sources of space weather phenomena. These include sunspots flares prominences coronal holes and coronal mass ejections all having potential to significantly influence spacecraft. Therefore it is essential to be aware of the origins of these phenomena and to keep close watch on them..

[Audio] Space technology enables us to explore the world in unprecedented ways. However safety is of utmost importance when we venture into space. The below data table shows how space weather can influence satellites. Prolonged exposure to such conditions causes an increase in drag due to friction which consequently can lead to physical damage to electronic circuits. We need to remain vigilant so as to ensure that our hardware is adequately safeguarded. With space technology progressing drastically our safety standards must match the same pace..

[Audio] Space Weather involves environmental conditions in outer space consisting of solar radiation and solar winds particles and radiation from other origins. It originates from manifold sources including electromagnetic radiation and particles from the sun interplanetary shocks cosmic rays and the interstellar and intergalactic medium. Such sources influence a broad scope of consequences from disruptions to communications to changing the atmosphere of celestial entities. Bearing these effects in mind is imperative when completing space exploration and other outer space undertakings..
