The effects of Space Weather on technology are manifold and can be experienced in deep space as well as on the surface of the earth. Space weather effecting prevalent technologies on earth are primarily linked to the conditions in space environment, predominantly controlled by the Sun. This article describes the basic facts for understanding processes responsible for space weather effects on (i) satellites, (ii) power systems, (iii) radio propagation, (iv) communication cables and few other technologies. The events under this study are associated with CME’s, flares, particle radiations and plasmas of solar origin.
Keywords: Space weather, Satellites, Solar flares, Plasmas of solar origin.
