About
SPARC provides real-time and near-real-time space radiation environment data services derived from instruments on operational satellites across three orbital regimes.
The MEO Galileo service delivers near-real-time solar proton flux and electron flux measurements from the Environmental Monitoring Unit (EMU) aboard operational Galileo navigation satellites (GSAT0207 and GSAT0215) at 23,222 km altitude, developed with Surrey Space Centre and ESA. The GEO service provides real-time omnidirectional differential electron fluxes from GOES-19 at geostationary altitude, developed under the ESA GSTP ‘Space Radiation Effects Nowcast (SREN) platform’ activity. The EDRS-C/NGRM SWESNet service delivers calibrated Level-2 electron and proton differential flux data products, integral flux alerts, and daily fluences from the Next Generation Radiation Monitor (NGRM) aboard EDRS-C in geosynchronous orbit at 31° East, with data available in JSON, CSV and CDF formats.
