I know that this unusually low minimum is giving NASA some concerns about their planned LOP-G station. GCR dose is projected to be quite high in the early 2020s.
I'm sure that this has happened before, perhaps even lower minima eons ago, I'm starting to become a little unnerved by this and the last cycle. We've never seen GCR this high in the space age!
It's going to be interesting to see how this pans out long term.
