The importance and actuality of the geomagnetospheres research are
based on the following three factors: 1. The geomagnetosphere is
the nearest giant natural laboratory, where it is possible by
multiple satellites and ground measurements to investigate in
detail many different plasmas and energetic processes in space;
these are caused by the interaction of high kinetic energy solar
wind plasmas and their perturbations (Coronal Mass Ejections - CME,
Interplanetary Shock Waves ISW, Interplanetary Interaction Regions
IIR) frozen in Interplanetary Magnetic Fields (IMF) with the
rotated main geomagnetic field. This interaction leads to a dynamic
transformation in magnetic fields in the geomagnetosphere,
generation and trapping of high energy particles (which are also
called Magnetospheric Cosmic Rays MCR), and generation of
instabilities and electromagnetic radiations. These processes are
in principle similar to processes in magnetospheres of other
planets and their moons, in the atmosphere of the Sun and other
stars, in interplanetary and in interstellar space, and in many
different astrophysical objects. Put simply, this research is an
important basis for fundamental space and astrophysical science. 2.
In modern times, technology, economics, navigation, television,
internet, radio connections, military and all aspects of peoples
lives on our planet are strongly connected with the work of many
satellites moving inside the geomagnetosphere. Different processes
and MCR in the geomagnetosphere influence satellites often lead to
satellite malfunctions and sometimes fully destroying them. The
described research can be considered as a basis for developing
methods of forecasting dangerous situations for satellites in
different orbits, and to decrease the risk of satellite malfunction
and loss. 3. The interaction of CME, ISW, and IIR with the
geomagnetosphere leads to the generation of big magnetic storms
accompanied with Forbush decrease and precursory effects in
Galactic Cosmic Ray (GCR) intensity. These magnetic storms are
dangerous not only for satellites, but also on the Earths surface
for technology, radio connections, car accidents, and human health
(e.g., increasing frequency of infarct myocardial and strokes).
Investigations of magnetic storm causes can help to develop methods
of their forecasting and decrease the level of magnetic storm
hazards. Therefore, the other practical application of this
research is connected with the problem of space weather influence
on the technology, radio connections, navigation, transportation,
and human health on Earth in regards to altitude and latitude.
