Solar Storm Sept 2005
Date of event:
2005-09-07 17:40Z
Affected revolutions:
354 to 357
Event description:
Returning sunspot 798 unleashed an X17-solar flare on the 7th of September while still on the Eastern limb. During the following week it unleashed 8 more X-class flares and several M-class ones as well.
Period: About 10 days

• SEIS is a standalone service, in prototype phase
• Reliability and maintainability can improve– as an operational service provided to
multiple missions and to research groups– by prototype consolidation after testing
and validation phase– by Standardization of the data services– by Standardization of the upstream data
