TECHNOLOGICAL VULNERABILITY. “As our lives have become increasingly dependent on technological systems that are vulnerable to electromagnetic disturbances and bombardment by energetic electrons and ions, understanding these processes is important both for the design and maintenance of these systems.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn

BLADE RUNNER 2049." "“FILE CLERK: “When the lights came back, we were wiped clean.”" "FILE CLERK: “Photos, files, every bit of data, pfft. Gone. Bank records too. Heh.”" "FILE CLERK: “I mean, we had everything on drives. Everything, everything, everything. Heh.” https://books.google.es/books?id=30qxDwAAQBAJ&pg=PT333&lpg=PT333&dq=bladerunner+was+about+electronic+records+being+wiped+clean&source=bl&ots=eWyy3YlZ4F&sig=ACfU3U0RjFXj44ntjRJiFsp7Ct7rrRzURw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjij6uf8c7mAhVNAGMBHQ-VBoIQ6AEwAHoECAUQAQ#v=onepage&q=bladerunner%20was%20about%20electronic%20records%20being%20wiped%20clean&f=false View in LinkedIn

THE THINGS THAT CAN HAPPEN, “Illustration of the chain of events from the Sun to the Earth related to ground-based space weather effects.” You have to see this one. https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn

ANOMALY REGION. “High-energy ions trapped in the Earth’s magnetic field can cause significant effects in spacecraft systems. While malfunctions such as memory upsets can occur almost anywhere, a vast majority of the events are observed in the southern hemisphere over the South Atlantic Anomaly region where the Earth’s magnetic field is weakest and the energetic particles thus have best access to altitudes where the low-Earth-orbiting spacecraft reside (∼ 300–1000km altitude).” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn

SATELLITE VULNERABILITIES. “The high energies above tens of MeV make galactic cosmic rays highly penetrating into the satellite systems, where they can cause a wide variety of harmful effects.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn

SYSTEM FAILURES. “Solar energetic particles arising from active events on the Sun cause degradation and failure of space-borne systems. Especially, single event upsets can occur in electronic components when a charged particle (e.g., a heavy ion) ionizes a track along a sensitive part of the circuit and causes the circuit to change state.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn
