| Abstract : | Observing solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) from the Lagrange Point 1 (L1) – a strategic location approximately 1.5 million kilometers from Earth towards the Sun. At L1, Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO), ACE, DSCOVER Mission spacecrafts can maintain a stable position relative to both the Earth and the Sun, providing an unobstructed view of the solar disk. The combination of LASCO C2 and C3 data allows us to study the 3D structure and kinematics of Earth-bound halo CMEs. By tracking the motion and expansion of these CMEs, I can estimate their speed, direction, and arrival time at Earth. Understanding the kinematics of halo CMEs is essential for predicting their impact on our planet's space environment by using Integrated Space Weather Analysis (iSWA) platform to analyze Plasma density, Radial Velocity of halo CME and Magnetospheric and ionospheric X ray flux density, proton flux density, Kp Index ,Dst timeline index & Bz Component changes in Geomagnetic field of Earth during Geomagnetic storms. For satellites in LEO, this increased atmospheric density results in a higher drag force acting on the satellites. The drag force opposes the satellite's motion and causes it to lose orbital energy, which leads to a decrease in altitude over time. As a result, satellites in LEO experience orbital decay and may re-enter Earth's atmosphere prematurely, shortening their operational lifespan, utilizing observations from the L1 point and models and visualizations from iSWA, I can predict space weather events and assess potential impacts on satellites. By understanding solar activity and its influence on space weather, we can better prepare and safeguard satellites in the future, ensuring their optimal functionality and operational lifespan.
