Solar Flares May Affect Earth, But the Space Station Will Be Just Fine
A series of solar flares blasted waves of radiation and solar plasma toward Earth this week, and the geomagnetic storms that could result have the potential to damage orbiting satellites and disrupt communications on Earth. But the International Space Station is expected to weather the storm just fine.
"There will be no impact to the crew or station operations and no impact to station hardware," NASA spokesman Dan Huot told Space.com in an email. [ In Photos: The Sun's Monster X9.3 Solar Flare ]
