Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity 1 August 2010
"Region 1092 (N13E21) produced a long-duration C3/Sf flare at 01/0826Z. The flare was associated with a Type IV radio sweep, an 890 sfu Tenflare, and an Earth-directed full-halo coronal mass ejection (CME). A disappearing filament (DSF) occurred during 01/0750 - 0811Z, centered near N37W32 and time coincident with the C3 flare. The DSF was associated with an Earth-directed partial-halo CME."

Probably none, since their orbit is well below the van Allen belts.

They have a procedure for taking refuge in more heavily-shielded modules, but it won't be invoked for a CME of this size. For anybody out beyond the Van Allen radiation belts, it's another story.
Isn't life interesting living so close to a huge fusion reactor... WOW, I hope I don't get a call dropped on my new cell phone.
Right - this does not seem to be major event. Might make some pretty lights for people up north but that's about it.

What are the health implications of this for the Astronauts on the ISS?
