Magnetic storms can interfere with communications. About this in conversation with OTR stated Scientist Nathan Eismont.
He noted that the first impact of the plasma falling on the spacecraft requires protection mode to be turned on first to avoid damage.
“This interference will be at a very high level. And finally, what has had such catastrophic consequences in the past is the impact on main power lines. This is where there can be consequences. These things have happened, when entire areas or regions of large countries like Canada are exposed to storms that arise after high water and a significant part of the country is simply in darkness. That is, the power supply is interrupted,” Eismont said.
He also affirmed the influence of magnetic storms on humans. At the same time, according to the scientist, it is necessary to talk about this issue very carefully, because there are people who feel sick only because of suggestibility, and not because of real effects.
