C H A P T E R N ° 7 Critical Space Infrastructure
Dear reader
In today’s article, we will look closer at Critical Space Infrastructure and identify the most at risk of space weather impact. Additionally, we will discuss the interaction between this infrastructure, space weather, and modern-day society.
Hoplon wishes you a pleasant read and hope to see you again soon!
C H A P T E R N ° 6 The Van Allen Belts
Dear reader
In today’s article, we will introduce the Van Allen Belts and why it was a historical moment in space history. Additionally, we will discuss the differences between its belts and what happens during space weather events.

C H A P T E R N ° 5 The Outer Space Environment: Radiation vs Space Radiation
Dear reader
In today’s article, we will look closer at what radiation is and what the difference is between radiation found or created on Earth compared to that found in space (i.e., space radiation). Furthermore, we will discuss the difference between two types of space radiation and their impact on the space environment, and much more!

C H A P T E R N ° 4 The 2003 Halloween Storm
Dear reader
In today’s article, we will introduce the largest recorded proton event and the 6’th largest storm recorded since 1932.
This storm is known to be the cause of Earth losing half of its satellites within less than two weeks. From a scientific and technical perspective, the knowledge obtained from the storm is argued to be the most diverse observations ever made for a space weather event. This storm gave people on Earth a taste of what space weather can do to our space and terrestrial infrastructures even when it is not completely Earth-directed. It highlights why space weather awareness and the implementation of mitigation measures are important even in cases of none-Earth-directed space weather events.

C H A P T E R N ° 3 The October Storm (1989)
Dear reader
In today’s article, we will introduce the largest magnetic storm of the 20’th century.
A storm that has become an archetypal disturbance for examining geomagnetic hazards to power systems and which has become the most legendary story among electrical engineers and space scientists. A storm that gave people on Earth a taste of what space weather can do to our space and terrestrial infrastructures and which is a perfect example of why the implementation of mitigation measures is so important.
