Satellite Protection

Satellite protection requires situational awareness about: 1) the Magnetosphere's geomagnetic storms and the state of the radiation belts; 2) the Atmosphere thermosphere densities relevant to space traffic management and the historical, high-accuracy SET HASDM Database atmosphere density baseline; and 3) Satellite charging probabilities.
