1- CALENDAR OF EVENTS

2-SCIENTIFIC RATIONALE AND KEY TOPICS

The proposal to hold IAGA Symposium Entitled" Space weather and its effects on Spacecraft" , April 5 – 9 , 2009   at Cairo Egypt to get  opportunity to discuss relevant researches in many areas of the space weather and geomagnetism.  

The goal of the symposium is the cooperation of scientists from different fields of space research to discuss the space weather parameters and its effects on navigations, spacecraft operations, aviation, and electric power. The presentations and discussions at Space Weather symposium also focuses on identifying the highest priority needs for operational services that can guide future researches and identifying new high-value capabilities that can be transitioned into operations.The suggested Preliminary Scientific Program will aim to address 2 main subjects: 1) Space weather parameters; and 2) the impact of space weather on spacecraft and space navigation.

the Symposium  divided into 8 sessions as follows:

S1- Solar Wind, its origin and evolutions.

S2- Solar energetic particles (SEP), Coronal Mass Ejected (CME's), and Solar Neutrons ejection.

S3- Interaction between cosmic ray/solar energies particles and spacecrafts.

S4- Magnetosphere trapped particles and its evolutions.

S5- Use of geomagnetic data and indices in space weather.

S6- New results from solar and heliospheric missions.

S7- History and Education of space Science.

S8- IHY & IAY latest activities and Round table discussions about the final results of the meeting and suggestions
 

This symposium will aim to stimulate exchange and promote discussion on the recent developments derived from the observations and the latest researches in the field. We can get the new ideas for corporations between IAU and IAGA, and Middle East countries. The participants welcome from all over the world, there are special sessions for Young Scientist.
