太阳耀斑发出的高能粒子流(质子)时常中断地球及卫星的无线电通信。1989年3月的太阳耀斑干扰了气象卫星和通信卫星的工作,使地球磁场产生磁暴,造成加拿大和瑞典的停电,中断了电话、导航和高频无线电通信,单是加拿大断电9小时就造成30～60亿美元的损失。法国科学家提议建立太阳耀斑空间早期警报网。这个警报网利用能量在10～100兆电子伏的质子流运动比电磁波慢得多的特点。所以,理论上在离太阳较近的空间飞行器能探测到它并用无线电波向地面报警,无线电波将比质子流起码抢先10分钟,时常领先50分钟到达地球。这样,卫星关闭开关,预 High-energy particle streams (protons) emitted by solar flares often interrupt earth and satellite radio communications. The solar flare of March 1989 interfered with the work of meteorological satellites and communications satellites, causing a magnetic storm in the Earth’s magnetic field, causing power outages in Canada and Sweden, disrupting telephone calls, navigation and high-frequency radio communications. The loss of electricity in Canada alone amounted to 9 hours 30 ~ 60 billion loss. French scientists propose to set up solar flare space early warning network. This alarm network utilizes the proton flux energy of 10 to 100 mega-volts to move much slower than electromagnetic waves. So, theoretically, a spacecraft closer to the sun can detect it and alert the ground with radio waves that the radio waves will take at least 10 minutes ahead of the proton flow, often leading for 50 minutes to reach the Earth. In this way, the satellite off switch, pre-set
