Space weather data
What space weather data is
Space weather data refers to the collection, analysis, and dissemination of information related to the conditions and phenomena in space that can affect space-borne and ground-based technological systems.
This data includes measurements of solar activity such as solar flares, coronal mass ejections, and solar wind, as well as geomagnetic storms and ionospheric disturbances.
Space weather data is crucial for understanding and predicting the impact of space weather on satellite operations, communication and navigation systems, power grids, and other critical infrastructure.
It is used to enhance the safety and reliability of technological systems both in space and on Earth by providing early warnings and enabling strategic planning to mitigate potential disruptions caused by space weather events.
Why space weather data matters for operations
Space weather data matters because solar and geomagnetic activity can rapidly change the near Earth environment, increasing atmospheric drag, altering satellite trajectories, degrading radio links, and disturbing GNSS based navigation and timing.
These effects can raise uncertainty in orbit determination and conjunction assessment, complicating maneuver planning and coordination at scale, especially for LEO constellations operating with tight fuel and availability constraints.
Timely space weather awareness supports resilient operations by enabling earlier risk mitigation actions such as updating ephemerides more frequently, adjusting mission timelines, and prioritizing tracking during disturbed periods.
How Look Up uses space weather data
Look Up uses SYNAPSE to fuse external space weather data with multi source tracking and analytics to support safer, faster collision avoidance decisions when environmental conditions increase prediction uncertainty.
SORASYS radars detect and track LEO objects with high reactivity, helping refresh orbital estimates when drag and perturbations change quickly.
Together, they help operators monitor, alert, predict, and recommend actions with an operational space picture that remains usable under space weather driven variability.
We deliver space situational awareness (SSA) and space domain awareness (SDA) solutions that help secure active satellites and ensure safe operations in the ever-growing expanse of space.
