The current state and future directions of modeling thermosphere density enhancements during extreme magnetic storms
Satellites, crewed spacecraft and stations in low-Earth orbit (LEO) are very sensitive to
atmospheric drag. A satellite's lifetime and orbital tracking become increasingly inaccurate …
