  • $\begingroup$ We normally warn new users about link-only answers, so to be fair I should do it here as well. Can you include at least a summary or screen shot of the countering acceleration as a function of time scale (figure 9?) in order to preserve some of the value and utility of your answer if/once the link rots? Thanks! $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Also see upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e5/ISS_altitude.png , which shows ISS altitude over a period of a bit over seven years. Once well past the peak of solar cycle 23, the ISS was allowed to operate at altitudes that would have been hazardous during the peak of that solar cycle. $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 11, 2018 at 2:08
