C H A P T E R N ° 27 The Aviation Industry
Dear reader,
In today’s article, we will introduce and look closer at the relation between space weather and the aviation industry.
Moreover, we will explore how space weather interacts with the natural planetary defence systems of Earth and their connection to the potential space weather effects on the aviation industry. Additionally, we will investigate how the interdependency between certain critical infrastructures increases the vulnerability and, thus, risks to space weather impact. Lastly, we will discuss some of the risks and effects experienced by the industry from space weather impact.

C H A P T E R N ° 24 The Road Transport Sector
Dear reader,
In today’s article we will look closer at the relation between space weather, the road transport sector, and ground transportation systems. Moreover, we will discuss the effects from this natural hazard on the energy sector and satellite industry, and the consequential cascading effects on ground transportation systems like roads, traffic signals, and ground-based communication networks.
Additionally, we will present and discuss the relation between space weather and today’s electrical vehicles (EVs) and vehicles of the future, that is; artificially intelligent (AI) 5G vehicles (i.e., autonomous/self-driven cars). Lastly, mitigation measures will be presented and discussed.
Hoplon wishes you a pleasant read and hope to see you again soon!
C H A P T E R N ° 22 The May 2024 Space Weather Event
Dear reader,
In today’s article, we will explore the May 2024 space weather event. We will look closer at the cause and what happened during the event, and how this storm emphasizes some of the vulnerabilities within critical space and terrestrial (ground-based) infrastructures, such as the energy sector.
Moreover, we will discuss why this event highlights the need for better space weather forecasting and warning capabilities, and the vulnerabilities within the modern-day agricultural sector.
