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. | |

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! | |
