The May 2024 Gannon Storm was the largest in two decades. Over those 20 years, society’s dependence on space assets has evolved, plans for human exploration initiated, and system infrastructures on Earth have progressed – all of which are impacted by space weather.

This session calls for papers that describe impacts of the event in space and on Earth, that detail mitigation activities and

responses across the globe, and that articulate forward looking actions that would advance understanding and mitigation of impacts for large storms in the future.
