Hi,
In the video "the killshot" of Ed Dames he mentions that the signaling event is when they prematurely call back
a space shuttle from it's mission. You can monitor the planned missions here:

If it is only the EM component to worry about in the space station it might not be too bad ... A Faraday cage shields
electronics inside. However cables from outside to inside may be destructive ..
So it strongly depends on how much they rely on outside equipment and connections ... I imagine they will have
thought about that in advance at NASA and other space agencies.
Same goes for the Space Shuttle of course.
But according to Ed Dames there may be more than EM components only.
Cheers
