Iridium Deployed is a video series highlighting real-world applications of Iridium Connected devices & services.

Solar storms can disrupt the aviation industry, terrestrial-based telecommunications, satellite systems, and even power grids—but scientists at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) continue to study ways to mitigate their impact.

Physicist Dr. Brian Anderson joins Iridium Director of Engineering Ken Rock to discuss the origins of the Active Magnetosphere and Planetary Electrodynamics Response Experiment (AMPERE) and how magnetometers integrated into Iridium® satellites detect solar storms.
