Nasa probe analyses Sun’s satellite-disrupting solar storms

Electrical, Electronics & Instrumentation

The Parker Solar Probe (PSP) was launched in 2018 and will approach within four million miles (6.5 million kilometres) from the centre of the Sun during its mission. It has already become the closest-ever artificial object to the Sun. A report from the University of California Berkeley has said the…

Volcanic eruptions shown to disrupt satellite comms links

Electrical, Electronics & Instrumentation

The ionosphere is the region of the Earth’s upper atmosphere where molecules and atoms are ionised by solar radiation, creating positively charged ions. The area with the highest concentration of ionised particles is called the F-region, an area 150 to 800km above the Earth’s surface. This region plays a crucial…
