In 1724, George Graham reported that the needle of a magnetic compass was regularly deflected from magnetic north over the course of each day. This effect was eventually attributed to overhead electric currents flowing in the ionosphere and magnetosphere by Balfour Stewart in 1882, and confirmed by Arthur Schuster in 1889 from analysis of magnetic observatory data.

Rocket launches can trigger lightning strikes during flight; Apollo 12 was hit by lightning twice during ascent. After an Atlas-Centaur rocket was hit by lightning in 1987 and destroyed by range safety, NASA and the Air Force formed an advisory panel with weather experts to develop guidelines for acceptable conditions.
