Geomagnetic storms can have significant impacts on satellites, power grids, and other infrastructure. Storms dominated by solar protons tend to decay faster, while those driven by terrestrial oxygen can cause deeper magnetic disturbances and prolonged stress on power transformers. This can lead to satellite drag, accelerated orbital decay, and potential power outages. Understanding the source of the storm is crucial for operators to make informed decisions, such as whether to safe-mode satellites or shed electrical loads. Without this knowledge, forecasting collision risks, reentry timing, and grid stability remains uncertain, posing risks to billions of dollars in infrastructure.
