Description
Augura Space has developed the Augura Space Nowcast Platform, an open-access, research-oriented tool designed to support the space weather scientific community by providing centralized access to key space environment parameters in near-real time.
The platform consolidates publicly available data from European and international providers focusing on solar wind, interplanetary magnetic field, energetic particle fluxes, geomagnetic indices, ionospheric parameters, and solar imagery.
Its objective is to offer a complete and user-friendly demonstrator, facilitating rapid situational awareness, cross-disciplinary studies, and data exploration by broad users including researchers, students, and engineers.
The development addressed several technical challenges:
- Harmonizing multi-source data streams with diverse formats and cadences.
- Implementing a robust, modular infrastructure for data ingestion, archiving, and visualization.
- Ensuring traceability, transparency, and systematic referencing of data sources in line with FAIR data principles.
The platform complements ongoing efforts by offering a research-oriented, freely accessible environment to foster scientific use, training, and collaboration, as well as enhance its accessibility towards new potential users. It also provides a testbed for future evolutions toward more sector-specific applications.
