Scientific paper

Solar flare prediction techniques have been applied to planned launch dates of the Canadian domestic communication satellites. The possibility for solar cell damage on a synchronous communications spacecraft during the transfer orbit phase of the mission have led to these predictions as part of the criteria for determining launch readiness. These predictions consist of long-range flare predictions, based upon a theory of planet-induced tides on the sun, and short-term forecasts, based on H alpha observations.
