The South Atlantic Anomaly: Earth’s Magnetic Enigma Unveiled - New Space Economy

The South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) is a striking irregularity in Earth’s magnetic field, characterized by a significant reduction in field strength over a vast region spanning the South Atlantic Ocean, from South America to southern Africa. This anomaly, where the magnetic field intensity drops to approximately one-third of the global average, affects low-Earth orbit satellites, spacecraft, and scientific research, offering a unique lens into the …
