Astronauts are those most exposed to storms that occur in space

NASA carefully monitors the radiation dose accumulated by each astronaut throughout his career. Every release, every spacewalk solar flare and all are taken into account carefully. If an astronaut gets too close to the limit, you may not be allowed to leave the space station! The accurate warnings about the weather in space could be kept under control exposure to radiation, postponing spacewalks, for example, when there is a likelihood of occurrence of a rash

In his presentation at the forum, Allen proposed to establish a new type of forecast. "It could be useful alerts from All Clear. Besides knowing when it is too dangerous to leave, we would like to know also when it is safe. This is another challenge for forecasters: not only will tell us when a sunspot eruption, but also when no the will.

The educational mission of SWEF is key to boosting preparedness solar storms. As Leak Guhathakurta and his colleague Dan Bake, University of Colorado, asked in an editorial in The New York Times, dated June 17: "What good are warnings related to weather conditions in space if people do not understand or know how to react to them?”
