SPARCSPARC leads the European Space Agency project “Data Exploitation of new GALILEO Environmental Monitoring Units (EMUs)”. The project is implemented in collaboration with Surrey University (UK) and DH Consultancy (Belgium).
The main task of the project is the data analysis of EMUs particle radiation measurements and the development of a model to characterize the radiation environment of EU GALILEO spacecraft.
SPARC (GR) leads the European Space Agency (ESA) project “Next Generation Radiation Monitor (NGRM) Data Processing” and support the Space Situational Awareness (SSA) programme in collaboration with Solenix Company (DE).
The objectives of the project include the development of the NGRM Level 1 payload data ground processor for the European Space Operation Center (ESOC), the implementation of the data processing elements for the NGRM unit on-board GEO EDRS-C mission and the in-flight campaign of EDRS-C/NGRM in collaboration with US and Japanese researchers.
Elements of the activity will be supported by OHB-Hellas (GR) and DH Consultancy (BE), who will provide their expertise to successfully deliver the results of this project.
We are pleased to co-organize and host in Greece the International Radiation Environment near Earth (IRENE) Space Radiation Modelling and Data Analysis Workshop 2019 together with US IRENE team and European Space Agency.
The workshop will bring together international experts in the field of space radiation data analysis and model development.

A novel European Space Particle Radiation Environment Modelling (ESPREM) system has been recently developed aiming to integrate & combine statistical models of energetic particle space environments in a modular fashion. ESPREM integrated European radiation models and included the state-of-the art AE9/AP9 radiation belt model, developed in US. In addition, ESPREM was connected with radiation effects tools to determine internal charging, ionising and non-ionising dose and single event effects.
The release and the adoption of such a system by the space industry require the use of state-of-the-art radiation models & effect tools and the further upgrade of the system level software. The proposed activity is expected to lead to the development of a new system with such characteristics, the ecIRENE system, resulting from the further update of the AE9/AP9 RB model (by introducing additional European datasets and modelling schemes already existing in European RB models), the extension/improvement of the European SPE radiation environment models and the introduction of additional radiation effect tools.
SPARC participates in the European Space Agency project “Radiation Environment at Extremely Low Altitude And Latitude “.
The project is lead by RADMON research (UK) and is implemented in collaboration with DH Consultancy (Belgium), Kallisto Consultancy (UK), Université catholique de Louvain, (UCL/CSR) and the Royal Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy.
