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,...
A short review of how SES has operated small environment sensors on our satellite fleet, followed by aspirations for flying additional sensors in the future - and some comments regarding the difficulties in doing this for a commercial operator. Finally, as a little light relief - some examples of how 'inadvertent sensors' - such as attitude control sensors and flight computer EDAC - can be...
