... The status of the National Space Weather Program is currently in flux, with a draft implementation plan created with the help of an advisory board of space scientists. The plan foresees coherent research activity that ultimately is transformed into an expert information system (e.g., for communications and power industries, spaceflight planners at government laboratories, satellite builders and operators, radio amateurs)
