Space Environment Forecast Service
Abstract
Our geospace environment is affected by solar activity. Artificial satellites, telecommunications equipment, and human activities in space are adversely affected by intense X-ray radiation from solar flares and high-energy particles accelerated through the geomagnetic disturbance. To use the geospace environment safely, space weather forecast is needed. The space weather forecast project at the CRL started in 1988, when our radio-wave alert service was extended to space environment forecast service. We now provide our space environment forecast service to users in a variety of fields. The current space environment forecast service at the CRL/HSTRC is described in detail.
