Space Weather and Satellite Engineering: An Interview With Michael Bodeau

Michael Bodeau is a technical fellow at Northrop Grumman. Over his career, which has included positions at TRW, Hughes, and Boeing, he has designed telecommunications and scientific satellites for government and commercial operators and has studied the effects of space weather on satellites. In this interview, Bodeau describes how satellite engineers create “building codes” to help them design satellites that can withstand space weather events.
