  1. R-ESC

  2. ESA SSA SWE Network • Space Situational Awareness (SSA) program • Space Weather Segment (SWE) • Goal: develop a system that provides space weather services to end users • Bring together European expertise and assets in a federated approachdistributed over five Expert Service Centres (ESCs) • SSA SWE Coordination Centre (SSCC) is the first line of support for end-user with second line support from the ESCs

  3. Expert Service Centre for Space Radiation (R-ESC) • Coordinated by the Royal Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy: • Coordinator: Norma Crosby • Deputy: Mark Dierckxsens • Network of • 8 Expert Groups providing products • 5 Consultants providing specific expertise http://swe.ssa.esa.int/space-radiation

  4. R-ESC Domain • Particle radiation and micron-size particulates environment • Phenomena induced effects on technologies and biological systems • Provision of products allowing monitoring, modelling and forecasting • Services tailored to user requirements

  5. BIRA-IASB Products • Space Physics Division, Royal Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy (BIRA-IASB) • Products: • Space Environment Information System (SPENVIS) • Solar Energetic Particle Environment Modelling (SEPEM) Application Server • The COMESEP Alert System • SWIFF Plasmasphere electron density distribution model (SPM)

  6. PB Products • Paul Buehler • Products: • PROBA-1/SREM radiation rates • Integral/SREM radiation rates • Rosetta/SREM radiation rates • Herschel/SREM radiation rates • Planck/SREM radiation rates

  7. UCL/CSR Products • Center for Space Radiations(CSR), Université Catholique de Louvain (UCL) • Products based on PROBA-V/EPT data: • Time series of electron, proton & helium flux • Weekly maps of electron, proton & helium flux • Weekly auroral electrons, SSA proton & helium flux spectra • Under development: • Static radiation model of energetic electrons, protons and helium at LEO

  8. DLR-IAM Products • Institute of AerospaceMedicine (IAM), GermanAerospaceCenter (DLR) • Products: • Radiation environment inside the ISS • Accumulated dose in human phantoms outside and onboard the ISS • SEP post event analysis for aviation radiation exposure

  9. UTU Products • Space Research Laboratory, University of Turku (UTU) • Products: • Very high-energy Solar Energetic Particle environment mission specification: proton fluence, proton peak flux and heavy ion fluence • Solar Energetic Particle event catalogue: high-energy solar proton events

  10. MSSL Products • Mullard Space Science Laboratory (MSSL), University College London • Products: • Electron population models at GEO, MEO and LEO

  11. ANeMoSProductS • Athens Neutron Monitor Station (ANeMoS), National and Kapodistrian University of Athens • Products: • GLE alert service • Multi-station Neutron Monitor data • Under development: • DYnamic Atmospheric Shower Tracking Interactive Model Application (DYASTIMA)

  12. sL Product • Radiation Hardness Assurance and Space Weather, SeibersdorfLaboratories (SL) • Product: • Radiation exposure estimation at aircraft altitude (AVIDOS) • Under development: • A new implementation of AVIDOS

  13. SaRIFProducts • British Antarctic Survey (BAS) with contributions from UK MetOfficeand DH Consultancy • SaRIF Products: • Risk indicator panel • Internal charging current, total ionising dose and dose rate for GOES-14, GOES-15, GIOVA-A and slot region • Radiation belt forecast for GOES-14, GOES-15, GIOVA-A and slot region • High energy electron forecast for GEO • Post event reconstruction for GOES-14, GOES-15, GIOVA-A and slot region

  14. R-ESC Products • Variety of products: • Access to existing tools • Datasets and interpretation: levels, comparison with standard models, alerts, … • Utilize models to provide nowcast/forecasts • Development of statistical models • R-ESC development needs and gaps are identified in various ways: interactions with SWE network, user test campaigns, thematic workshops, asset reviews, network review, … • Most gaps are in real-time data, nowcasts and forecasts of environment and their effects. • The focus of R-ESC product development should be on R2O. • Standard APIs and data formats are needed to improve the network. • Improved presentation towards the end user needed.

  15. Other R-ESC activities • Mission operations plans and procedures • Defining key performance indicators (KPIs) including measures to monitor the evolution of the SWE network • Setting up product provision monitoring • User test campaigns • Common guidelines for validation • Provide recommendations for standard interfaces, data formats, system design • Requirements tracing throughout the network • Provide input to SWE portal pages • …

  16. Conclusions • ESA SSA is developing a space weathersystem to provide services tailored to theend users • Approach based on federated services and assets in SSA Participating States • A variety of products have been included and developed as part of the R-ESC • We welcome suggestions for future developments within the R-ESC domain
