StormWall: Could This Shield Prevent a $2.4 Trillion Solar Disaster?
Researchers at Boston University are proposing “StormWall,” a theoretical defense system that would use spacecraft to release plasma-forming material into Earth’s magnetosphere to reduce geomagnetic storm intensity. By increasing plasma density, the system aims to shield global power grids and satellite infrastructure from geomagnetic storm intensity, according to research lead Brian Walsh, an associate professor … Read more
