Space weather, triggered by intense solar variability, poses a potential threat to satellites and international space stations, human space flight, aviation and ground infrastructure upon which society is increasingly dependent. For example, on 13 March 1989, several regions of Canada experienced a major electrical blackout due to a major solar storm. In October 2003, some areas of Sweden also experienced a blackout triggered by a solar storm.
