Home News Center China Disaster monitoring satellites to be launched By Shao Zongwei (China Daily) Updated: 2004-04-27 22:07 A high-ranking Chinese space official Tuesday said the nation will launch a cluster of small satellites to allow better disaster management from space. "Through the establishment of a small satellite constellation consisting of multiple small remote-sensing satellites, our capacity in applying space technology in disaster mitigation and environmental monitoring will be improved," said Luan Enjie, administrator of the China National Space Administration (CNSA) at a High-level Panel on Knowledge Economic Development. "Large-scale, all-weather, all-time and dynamic monitoring of the environment and disasters will be realized to contribute to the sustainable economic and social development of China," he said. According to Luan, the main mission of the small satellite constellation will be to monitor the environment for floods, drought, typhoons, wind storms and tidal events. The system can also sense earthquakes, landslides, mud-rock flows, forest fires, plant diseases and insect pests, sea disasters, environmental pollution and assess disaster management. "The system will mainly follow the development of natural disasters and allow forecasting," said Luan.

(NASA/ESA) The mechanism behind solar storms due to hit Earth again in the next few days and a possible connection with the magnetic reversal of the Sun is being hotly debated in light of new research. Dr Nat Gopalswamy from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and his team published the controversial research in the latest Letters of the Astrophysical Journal The research was about the frequency of coronal mass ejections (CME), sudden bursts of material from the Sun that can disrupt power grids and satellites. The U.S. team said these CMEs were related to reversal of the Sun's magnetic field. "The Sun is like a snake that sheds its skin," said Gopalswamy. "In this case, it's a magnetic skin. The process is long, drawn out and it's pretty violent. More than a thousand coronal mass ejections, each carrying billions of tons of gas from the polar egions, are needed to clear the old magnetism away. But when it's all over the Sun's magnetic stripes are running in the opposite direction." But Australian scientists don't agree. Dr Hilary Cane from the

SPACE PHYSICS Geomagnetic Storms Can Threaten Electric Power Grid Permission is hereby granted to journalists to use this material so long as credit is given, and to teachers to use this material in classrooms. The sprawling North American power grid resembles a large antenna, attracting electrical currents induced by giant solar storms. Severe space weather occurring during solar cycles has the potential to cause a large-scale blackout in North America. by John G. Kappenman, Minnesota Power, Duluth, Minn.; Lawrence J. Zanetti, Johns Hopkins University, Applied Physics Laboratory, Laurel, Md.; and William A. Radasky, Metatech, Goleta, Calif. Disturbances caused by solar activity can disrupt these complex power grids. When the Earth's magnetic field captures ionized particles carried by the solar wind Anatomy of a Blackout Recent storms associated with Solar Cycle 22 (the 11-year sunspot cycle that began in 1986) have had an unprecedented impact on electric power systems. The great geomagnetic storm of March 13, 1989, plunged the entire Hydro Quebec system, which serves more than 6 million customers, into a GIC-triggered blackout. Most of Hydro Quebec's neighboring systems in the United States came close to experiencing the same sort of outage. Less severe geomagnetic storm events in September 1989, March 1991, and October 1991 also hampered utility operations. GIC interactions with new technological devices such as large electric power controllers affected voltage regulation and caused undesired relay operations in the system equipment.

NOAA Space Weather Scales The NOAA Space Weather Scales were introduced as a way to communicate to the general public the current and future space weather conditions and their possible effects on people and systems. Many of the SEC products describe the space environment, but few have described the effects that can be experienced as the result of environmental disturbances. These scales will be useful to users of our products and those who are interested in space weather effects. The scales describe the environmental disturbances for three event types: geomagnetic storms, solar radiation storms, and radio blackouts. The scales have numbered levels, analogous to hurricanes, tornadoes, and earthquakes that convey severity. They list possible effects at each level. They also show how often such events happen, and give a measure of the intensity of the physical causes.

SEARCH: advertisement Iridium Satellites Heed Science’s Call By Andrew Bridges Pasadena Bureau Chief posted: 07:00 am ET 18 December 2000 SAN FRANCISCO – Largely a bust as a business, the global constellation of Iridium satellites has quietly proved itself a $6 billion-dollar boon to space science. The worldwide satellite telephone system never drew enough subscribers to become profitable. Forced into bankruptcy , the company’s assets recently sold for $25 million, a tiny fraction of what the network cost to build. While consumers stayed away in droves, Iridium has been a strong draw for a small cadre of scientists interested in the unique insight the family of satellites can provide on global space weather.

Anderson and his colleagues presented their research on Friday during the fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union here.

Earthquakes: The Pulse of the Planet Southern California: The Earthquake Laboratory Earthquake Research in the Satellite Age Quakes from Space:Studying Earthquakes in the Satellite Age © Science Bulletins/AMNH Southern California is earthquake country. With more than 300 active faults and a population of 15 million, the region accounts for half of the nation's total earthquake hazard. The Los Angeles section of the San Andreas Fault, the biggest fault of them all, produces a major earthquake on average every 130 years—and it's been 150 years since the last one. The next big quake could happen at any time. There's no way to stop it. There's no way to predict exactly when and where it will occur. But that doesn't mean that nothing can be done to prepare for it. In recent years, scientists have begun using satellite technology to study earthquakes from space. By monitoring the tiniest movements of the Earth's crust, they are zeroing in on the spots where strain is building up and the crust will most likely snap. These efforts could help California residents protect the areas at greatest risk before the next big quake strikes.

Russian NTV television interviewed Yuri Karash, a space expert who thinks the organisms, which have spent 15 years quietly mutating in their own isolated environment on Mir, could be a real problem. The micro-organisms mutated from fungus found on Earth "I don't want to be a pessimist," Mr Karash said. "But the problem is there and it is a serious one. "The mutant fungi do exist and in future they could do serious damage to humanity. We can only draw the final conclusions after we have completed our research." Over the years, visitors to Mir have consistently said the biggest impression on reaching the station is the smell.
