Abstract
Harmful impacts of severe space weather on a large number of modern technological systems like: power networks, aviation, satellite services, radio communication and pipelines; have been observed and documented in the literature. Hence, the author concluded that space weather must have a similar impact on the digital technologies that will be used to provide the autonomy to the autonomously working systems in the future, like cars, trains, ships, drones and so forth. Thus, this paper briefly examined the space weather phenomena that could affect functionability of autonomously working systems by impacting provision of data provided by sensors contained in Earth orbiting satellites. Thus, MIRCE Science based philosophy made the author to conclude that functionability management of autonomously working systems in the future should focus on the protection of the sensors located in orbiting satellites from the exposure to continuously generating space weather in the Sun, by accurately monitoring their trajectories. Hence, when the damaging impact of severe space weather is predicted, the targeting satellite(s) should be temporarily moved to different orbital positions. This new type of functionability management is the only feasible solution for the provision of continuous operation of autonomously working systems of the Earth, as the physical ex*****on of any maintenance tasks on sensors damaged by the impact of the space weather, within satellites, is impossible.
