Abstract: A method and system of globally monitoring space weather conditions, use an imager, including one or more telescopic instruments and one or more processors, containing computer program code. The imager is configured on a platform; and positioned in the near Earth space environment, where, based on the executed computer program code, the imager compiles information about space weather conditions, by directly detecting electron emissions on a global basis. Network interfaces coupled with the imager provide, over a communications network, a plurality of communications and information, about space weather conditions, between the imager and a plurality of operational space assets and operational Earth assets. The plurality of communications and information about space weather conditions includes signals and information which automatically alert the plurality of operational space assets and operational Earth assets of effects of a solar wind.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for transporting a positive ion beam to a distant target. An ion channel is created as a path to the target, and the beam injected into the channel at a mildly-relativistic beam velocity. Because the beam is mildly-relativistic, the electric field caused by its positive charge propagates well in advance of the beam, attracting free electrons in the plasma channel and pulling them into the beam along its axis of propagation. The current which is initiated by this precursor electron flow, is sustained during the duration of the beam, and is then a combination of the beam current and additional current carried by the electrons within the channel. As a result, a magnetic flux circulates annularly about the beam of a sufficient magnitude to pinch the beam.
