To open mid-2013 First Space Weather Reading Center India Scheduled

The expertise that specializes in reading the climatic conditions in the area and helps air traffic on polar routes is scheduled in Kolkata by the middle of 2013. The space weather reading center in Kolkata is the first of its kind and has been approved by Union HRD Ministry. This center would come to Indian Institute of Science, Education and Research (IISER) campus. The Union HRD Ministry fined four crore rupees for the center.

The coordinator of the center stated that the center of excellence in space sciences focuses on the areas of space weather, especially the weather conditions in the solar system, as well as the gravitational physics.

The coordinator also explained that solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CME), the types of storms that came out of the sun and highlights several flights for the large amount of radiation in the polar regions. From North America, Europe and South Asia wide variety of commercial flight flying shorten the distance from the polar regions, and save time.

In this center help, there will be pre-information on the availability of space or the solar system originated in these storms. This information may eventually passed to the civil aviation sector in the polar region or height may in turn informed about the adverse effects of airline flight.

In case the weather is not the solar system determined by the mark, it will have an adverse effect on the role of satellites, but also ultimately affect the mobile network and GPS systems. Adverse weather conditions on the information in the space may also be transferred to achieve the telecommunications sector. This will give them protection in space satellites.

This centre would initially offer the readings free of cost to the telecommunication department and the civil aviation, but later this data would be available commercially. 

Apart from offering assistance to the air traffic on the polar routes, this centre of excellence will also be helpful in functioning of the GPS networks as well as mobile satellites which are placed already in the space.
