Does anyone have a link or other resource regarding the operational status of non amateur satellites in general? I'm interested in how the current solar activity is affecting the space environment. I've got links to the standard SOHO measurements, but I was wondering if there was information such as if satellites are being put into intentional spins because of charge buildup, or if any have had glitches, etc.

Somewhat related questions: Are magnetorquers useable when there is a geomagnetic storm? Do the changes in symmetry of the magnetic field during a storm disrupt the orbits of satellites containing ferrous or magnetic materials by exerting force on them?
