Solar activity plays an important role in both space operations and terrestrial infrastructure. Flares, storms, and coronal mass ejections are all manifestations of solar activity that can affect the operation of satellites, navigation, surveillance, radio communications, and other important structures. As a consequence, there is a need for a reliable and independent ecosystem for monitoring and forecasting solar weather. Today, the European space sector faces the challenge of creating infrastructure capable of competing with existing international initiatives.]]> https://spacewatch.global/2023/01/space-cafe-radio-ila-spezial-mit-melanie-heil/ Fri, 27 Jan 2023 09:00:04 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=46246 In this German Space Café Radio – Space Café Germany Host Andreas Schepers spoke with Dr. Melanie Heil,  Space Weather Space Segment Coordinator at the European Space Agency (ESA).
