Space Weather
changed that: it became a priority for US
|
|
|
|
science
and made it essential to consider Space Weather
|
|
|
|
applications
of FASR; in fact, made it dangerous to propose
|
|
|
FASR
without a significant Space Weather component
|
|
|
| • |
Hence
we have to identify the role that FASR can play in
|
|
|
|
Space
Weather and what abilities it needs to achieve this
|
|
|
|
role
|
|
|
| • |
We
have to convince them that FASR really will make a
|
|
|
|
contribution,
not just image Type IIIs

prediction of geomagnetic storms (power disruption)
|
|
|
|
prediction of SEPs (hazard
to spacecraft/astronauts)
|
|
|
|
prediction of ionospheric
conditions (communication)
|

|
|
assessment of impacts of Sun
directly, e.g. cell phones
