Ionospheric disturbances can degrade GPS accuracy by 2–10m at high Kp. HF radio blackouts possible during X-flares.
Elevated atmospheric heating expands thermosphere, increasing drag on LEO satellites. Orbit decay accelerated at Kp ≥ 5.
HF radio blackouts affect transpolar flight communications. Airlines may reroute away from polar tracks during major events.
Geomagnetically induced currents (GIC) can stress high-voltage transformers. G4–G5 storms historically caused grid failures.
Current radiation storm level: S1 - Minor. Solar energetic particles impact spacecraft electronics and crewed missions.
Moderate M-class flare with limited radio blackout potential.
Minor C-class event, no significant impacts expected.
