As part of ESA’s Space Situational Awareness programme, the Space Weather segment is focussing on services for owners and operators of satellites in space and infrastructure on the ground. The services will enable end-users in a wide range of affected sectors to mitigate the effects of space weather on their systems, reducing costs and improving reliability.
In Europe’s economy today, numerous sectors are potentially affected by space weather, ranging from space-based telecommunications, broadcasting, weather services and navigation through to power distribution and terrestrial communications, especially at northern latitudes.
Each of these sectors has a need for space weather data and services, together with a further requirement for those services to be tailored to their particular application.
