In the context of the ESA/M-MATISSE mission, the French Institute for Research in Astrophysics and Planetology (IRAP) has initiated the development of SPAM, a particle detector instrument to be deployed on two Mars-orbiting spacecraft. Designed to characterize both electrons and ions in the Martian environment, SPAM targets an energy range of 30 keV to 1 MeV for electrons and 30 keV to 10 MeV...
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,...
The plasma environment in the inner Earth’s magnetosphere fills a vast region between Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and Geostationary Orbit (GEO) and varies significantly with solar and geomagnetic conditions on the time scales of minutes. Spacecraft surface charging is a serious concern for satellites at those orbits leading to anomalies of operations. Spacecraft charging is a function of the space...
