Trend analysis: Space weather and geomagnetic risk — emerging threats and preparedness shifts
Tracks three defining trends in space weather risk management: the rapid growth of LEO mega-constellations increasing orbital drag exposure (15,000+ active satellites by 2026), the emergence of AI-driven forecasting models cutting CME arrival prediction error from ±12 hours to ±2 hours, and new NERC/FERC reliability standards mandating GIC mitigation for bulk power systems.
