چکیده
Space weather refers to conditions on the sun and in the solar wind, magnetosphere, ionosphere, and thermosphere that can influence the performance and reliability of space-borne and ground-based technological systems and that affect human life or health[1]. Such influence is particularly strong on spacecrafts by reducing the mission lifetime and causing long periods of instrument's unavailability. Understanding the cause-effect relation between space weather events and spacecrafts anomalies is a very important task but also a very complex one, which requires a multidisciplinary approach and is a long-term goal. Meanwhile, nowadays most mission control teams are supported by different and non-integrated systems providing telemetry and space weather information. However, they require better information availability, integrating space weather and spacecraft data, including past, current and forecasted data. This paper outlines a decision support system which in addition to the data integration, also provides efficient tools to analyse off-line data, monitor real-time space weather and spacecraft parameters and events, infer spacecraft anomalous conditions based on the uninterrupted real-time analysis of the spacecraft status parameters and to build predictions for any space weather or spacecraft parameter through the use of artificial neuronal networks and physical models. Such a system is under development for the European Space Agency control centre.

Global positioning system (GPS) measurements provide accurate and continuous 3-dimensional position, velocity and time data anywhere on or above the surface of the earth, anytime, and in all weather conditions. However, the predominant ranging error source for GPS signals is an ionospheric error. The ionosphere is the region of the atmosphere from about 60 km to more than 1500 km above the eart...

The radiation environment in deep space, where astronauts are behind the shelter provided by the Earth’s magnetosphere, is a major health concern. Galactic cosmic rays (GCR) and solar particle events (SPE) are two basic sources of space radiation in the solar system. The health risks of exposure to high levels of space radiation can be observed either as acute and delayed effects. Zhang et al. ...
