C H A P T E R N ° 49 The 2024 Gannon/Mother’s Day Storm: Economic Impact (Part 2)
Dear reader
Hoplon is delighted to present its latest article.
In today’s article, we will revisit the May 2024 space weather event - also known as the Gannon Storm and the Mother’s Day Storm - and look closer into its economic impact.
This will be the second and, thus, the last of two articles focused on the May 2024 event and its economic impact.
We will start with a discussion on the impact of the event on the near-Earth space environment, and the Earth’s atmosphere and its magnetosphere, and how these had cascading effects on critical space and ground-based infrastructure.
Following this, we will explore the economic impact within different critical infrastructures.
Lastly, we will provide a future outlook, discussing what the Gannon/Mother’s Day Storm exposed about society’s capability to protect critical infrastructure.
Hoplon wishes you a pleasant read and hope to see you again soon!

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 ° 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!
