Lightning Strikes May Pose Hidden Threat to Spacecraft
- Forecast for 6 months: In the next 6 months, we can expect to see increased research and development of new technologies to detect and mitigate the effects of high-energy electron bursts in the inner radiation belt.
- Forecast for 1 year: Within the next year, space agencies and private companies may begin to implement new safety protocols for launching spacecraft during periods of high lightning activity.
- Forecast for 5 years: In the next 5 years, we can expect to see significant advancements in our understanding of the Earth’s radiation belts and the effects of lightning on spacecraft. This could lead to the development of more robust and reliable spacecraft designs.
- Forecast for 10 years: By the end of the decade, we may see the deployment of spacecraft designed specifically to withstand the effects of high-energy electron bursts in the inner radiation belt, marking a major milestone in the exploration of space.
