A group of U.S. agencies took part in a first -of-its-kind space weather exercise that tested their preparedness for a severe solar storm.

The exercise was organized into four modules involving a series of solar events that resulted in adverse effects on our systems on Earth and in space.

The results were recently published in a report, which highlighted significant limitations in space weather forecasting.

The report suggests investing in next-generation space weather satellites and deploying more sensors to monitor space weather drivers.
