 Space weather this week continues to be a bit on the calm side But it may not stay like that for very long as we take a look at the earth-facing disc We do have a few active regions in earth view But really what's really keeping our interest are all the snake-like filaments on the disc in fact one of them erupted back on the second and this Eruption doesn't really have much of a signature in Coronagraphs, but it does look from the disc imagery. It does look like it could be earth directed in this case We're gonna expect a light impact of any at all and that will be probably late on the fifth into the sixth But we don't really have any model predictions for it because again, it's such a wispy structure It's hard to tell again and also on the third and into the fourth We had yet another eruption from another filament in the south This one also didn't give us much of a chronograph signature So again if there's going to be any impact at all this one could be like late on the sixth or seventh and Again, not expecting all that much, but we are definitely keeping our eyes on the level of disturbances and meanwhile We also have a big region that has been growing quite quickly This is region 3270 and it now has become a big flare player We are could conceivably see X-class flares from this region although it has not flared yet And we could conceivably see some radiation storms from this region as it continues to rotate to the Sun's west limb So we are definitely keeping our eyes on it Now switching to that recent G4 level solar storm We had back on March 24th Not only did we get a reward clear down to places like South Carolina and Texas New Mexico and Arizona and as far north as places like Tasmania and Perth, Australia But a war wasn't the only visible impact Rocket Lab also delayed their launch of a black sky payload for over a couple hours And with over 3,000 people watching their live stream and waiting They finally mentioned it online and also then later on their live stream Now the original launch was scheduled for a time when the earth was still passing through the core of the solar storm So they decided to play it safe and they waited Luckily earth was actually nearing the end of the storm and it only took a couple hours before it became clear We had passed through the entire core and the effects began to wane So they locked up a new time and the launch went off without a hitch Now Rocket Lab was not the only launch that was impacted that day SpaceX also had Starlink launch number 79 be impacted Now it wasn't a delay this time because of the solar storm But it did mean that the orbit insertion for the satellites had to be raised from 270 kilometers up to 320 kilometers in order to avoid all the excess drag from the inflated atmosphere due to that solar storm But even at that once the satellites weren't in their orbit insertion They managed to lose five kilometers of altitude in less than two days during their PLT checkout Nonetheless, everything turned out okay, and those satellites have now been boosted to higher orbits But it just goes to show you that space weather is finally becoming a real player in the launch window trade space and Both Rocket Lab and SpaceX. They're setting precedents for the future For more details on this week's space weather including how the recent activity could affect you Come check out my channel, or please see me at space weather woman comm
