The influence of space weather on the space crafts` launches
« on: 11/01/2021 13:44:17 »
Does space weather on the space crafts` launches and do scientists check it before space crafts go to space?
I know there is such a fact like space turbulence and it can influence a space craft, but can space weather?

It is hard to tell, but I think you're asking if there is weather in space, enough to influence launch decisions. I'd have to say yes since I'd guess that something like a period with a strong solar storm would seem to be a poor choice for a launch window since it affects if not the craft, at least the ability to track/communicate with the craft.

Yeah, you`ve made a good point.  I had some Ideas that solar activity could affect a spacecraft but also, I guess there are other factors that can do this.

In addition, I found out that there is some kind of sats that can forecast somehow solar activity like a particular kind of satellites do with weather on Earth. Personally, I was a bit surprised by hearing that.

Space Weather is forecast with a combination of:
- Theoretical/computer modeling (eg of the Sun's 11 year sunspot cycle)
- Ground-based observations
- Satellite based observations
