Solar storm had no major impact on satellites: Isro; Aditya-L1, Chandrayaan-2 instruments monitored & captured signs

IndiaTimes Tuesday, 14 May 2024
Isro announced its diligent surveillance and acquisition of data concerning the potent solar storm unleashed by the notably active sunspot region AR13664. This event, which occurred in early May 2024, instigated a barrage of vigorous X-class flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) directed towards Earth. The ensuing geomagnetic storm marked the most powerful occurrence since 2003, leading to disturbances in communication and GPS systems, particularly in regions of high latitudes.
