2010 Applications of Heliophysics Science
As society becomes increasingly dependent on technologies that are affected by space weather, our vulnerabilities become more obvious and more worrisome. A report issued in December 2008 by the NRCaddressed the impacts of space weather events on human technologies. The report, Severe Space WeatherEvents—Understanding Societal and Economic Impacts, estimates that the economic cost of a severegeomagnetic storm could reach $1–$2 trillion during the first year, with a recovery period of 4–10 years. These long recovery times would result from damage to large power transformers and other hard-to-replace facilities.

Partnerships with one or more other agencies may be the preferred method for satisfying the national need for observations from L1, measuring solar wind input into geospace. Presently, this is accomplished with aging scientific satellites making available highly-compressed, relevant measurements in near real-time. This is one of the examples of interagency cooperation where “beacons” on NASA spacecrafthave provided timely science data to space weather forecasters. Successful examples include ACE measurements of interplanetary conditions from L1, CME alerts arising from SOHO observations, and STEREO beacon images of the far side of the Sun. This roadmap recommends continued cooperation between NASA and other agencies to plan for the eventual loss of capability in space to measure conditions in the solar wind critical to both operational and scientific research.
