Developing User Focused Tools for Understanding Space Weather Impacts to Satellites
Abstract
As the field of space weather matures, collaboration and coordination between private and public entities is increasingly necessary in order to deliver needed products and hazard information to end-users. One area in particular where such a partnership is beneficial is providing space weather information to satellite operators and manufacturers for assessing the cause of satellite anomalies on orbit. In order to respond to these anomalies, the satellite industry requires tailored hazard indicators that can describe the current and historical space weather threat to satellites in unique orbits with varying design architectures. Here we discuss how public/private partnership can effectively address this need highlighting two specific projects to develop anomaly attribution tools: the Satellite Charging Assessment Tool (SatCAT) and the Solar Particle Access Model (SPAM).
