    Answer:

The solar cycle is about 11 years so there won't be anything happening that hasn't happened before. Predictions of the strength of the maximum haven't been terribly accurate in the past (the one about 1990 was supposed to be much stronger than it turned out to be). Strong flares will affect some communication systems and the astronauts need to be careful, but for most of us it will be business as usual. Other space-related effects include increased drag on satellites. As Earth receives more energy from the Sun, the atmosphere puffs up increasing the density of the residual atmosphere in the satellite's path. Aurora also become more spectacular.
