The near Earth

3
00:00:08,220 --> 00:00:12,380
region is very important, because many satellites are

4
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:16,400
positioned in this area. They can be very vulnerable to long,

5
00:00:16,420 --> 00:00:20,420
high radiation levels.

6
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:24,500
So, what we are seeing is what happens when a interplanetary shock

7
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:28,640
comes and hits the magnetosphere. 

8
00:00:28,660 --> 00:00:32,810
Interplanetary shock came from the sun, and it compressed the magnetosphere,

9
00:00:32,830 --> 00:00:37,000
and that compression brought these particles

10
00:00:37,020 --> 00:00:41,060
much inwards. So, these particles are very energetic, and they are

11
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:45,230
then put in a place where they are not usually seen.

12
00:00:45,250 --> 00:00:49,410
When this happens, the particle intensity

13
00:00:49,430 --> 00:00:53,590
goes up and stays high, which can be very harmful to 

14
00:00:53,610 --> 00:00:57,760
satellites in that region, and we need to learn

15
00:00:57,780 --> 00:01:01,940
and understand the processes that create these high levels of radiation

16
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:06,110
so that we can better design the spacecraft

17
00:01:06,130 --> 00:01:10,280
to avoid any bad effects from the radiation.
