Second 'Giant Hole' Appears on Sun: Solar Winds to Hit Earth This Week


The Solar Flare may cause magnetic interference and affect the RTK Positioning dependent on Satellites,

Our Sun recently produced the second strongest solar flare (X1.98) of the current Solar Cycle.

For your operation safety, please pay extra attention while UAV is in the air, having ACS2 always in hand and ready to take over for unexpected performance.

XAG Australia would like to recommend the following measures to be taken place.

  1. Choose a wide and open area for the UAV to take off / land.

  2. Give extra safety distance while mapping boundaries and obstacles.

  3. Double–check boundary/obstacle points before taking off to ensure points are accurate.

More details:

A giant 'hole' has appeared on the surface of the Sun, and it could send 1.8 million-mph solar winds toward Earth by Friday.
