Welcome to the web site of the ESA/ESTEC project Geosynchronous
Environment for Identification of
Satellite Hit Anomalies (GEISHA), Contract No.
16956/02/NL/LvH .
This pilot project is part of SWENET, the Space Weather
European
NETwork. For more details on the ESA pilot project Service
Development Activities
In the present study the consortium will focus on
prototyping a space weather service able to help in the analysis of
anomalies that may appear on spacecraft after major events, the focus
being geosynchronous orbit.
US instruments are flying on geosthetationnary
operational
spacecraft (GOES and LANL/GEO series), and provide a large amount of
useful data available on a real time or near real time basis. However,
the data must be properly analysed and exploited and in that
perspective, a fusion of such data with physical modelling shall
provide a decisive way forward for satellite manufacturers and
operators. Such a new approach will allow to extrapolate local in-situ
measurement to all longitudes on the geosynchronous orbit, and by
extension in the future, to propagate this boundary condition to all
orbital altitudes below this geosynchronous orbit.
The work will be performed by a consortium consisting
