ISWI Newsletter - Vol.6 No.004
06 January 2014

Dear ISWI Participant:

It seems there is a serious proposal to sweep away the electrons and protons of the Van Allen belts to reduce damage to the electronics of orbitting man-made satellites. This goes beyond space weather forecasting; this is in the (surreal?) realm of space weather modification.

For more details, please see the attached pdf.

Faithfully yours,
George Maeda
Editor of ISWI Newsletter
