NASA to Test Upgraded Earth Models for Solar Storm Threat
NASA aims to improve space weather forecasting by better simulating solar storm effects on the Earth's geomagnetic field

Alternatives to conventional integrated circuits may significantly reduce space risks
Experiments are part of a growing effort to evaluate extraterrestrial hazards to the power grid
New spacecraft will aid forecasts of space weather
Twin spacecraft will help predict space-weather effects on satellites
The approach of the solar maximum is an urgent reminder that power grids everywhere are more vulnerable than ever to geomagnetic effects
While this storm will cause minimal disruption, a more severe event could be devastating
