This paper investigates solar activities and its phenomena from the perspective of risks to the earth's environment, human health, and space weather risks to space systems. In this article, in addition to a brief explanation about the physics of the sun and space weather phenomena, the effects of these phenomena on human health have been investigated. moreover the results of international researches have been studied and analyzed to determine the relationship between heart diseases, brain diseases, cancer, birth rates, health of astronauts, and animal life with space weather phenomena. The results of this article help to predict these events during the occurrence of solar events and by taking the correct actions in addition to preserving biological health, possible damages can also be minimized.

In this paper, damping mode of a satellite attitude control is designed and implemented using magnetic actuators in software /hardware-in-the-loop testbed. To this end, the equivalent of Earth’s magnetic field is designed using Helmholtz coil, frictionless is made by air-bearing, and algorithms are developed on designed control board. By measuring the Earth’s magnetic field, actuator commands are generated by the damping algorithm then braking torque is produced. Some applied restrictions and special requirements such as non-simultaneous operation between magnetic sensor and magnetic actuators, air-bearing friction, initial angular velocity are considered. By identifying the air-bearing frictional model, the results are compared in software/hardware-in-the-loop. The compared results show that the ability of the designed system to perform damping mode.

In this paper, the design and implementation of hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test-bed for spacecraft attitude control are presented with respect to the practical consideration. This test-bed includes an air bearing 3-DOF table, Helmholtz coil, sun simulator, orbit simulator, reaction wheels and torqrods as actuators, gyro, GPS, AHRS, magnetometer, and processing board. In addition, online monitoring of attitude and orbit position in LabVIEW and Celestia software, data telemetry, battery package and power distribution board are developed in this case. Using this test-bed, different operational modes are evaluated and verified for satellite attitude control. The experimental results of damping mode show that the capability of decreasing the angular velocity to the desired value (0.3 deg/s). Moreover, a torque simulator to apply the disturbances and test of propulsion scenarios, online telemetry with ground station, near-optimal design of Helmholtz coil are the advantages of this test-bed.
