SAAPS, Version 1.01 |
||||
SAAPS is an acronym for Spacecraft Anomaly Analysis and Prediction System and a general description of the project can be found at the SAAPS home page.SAAPS is available over the Internet using a web browser such as Netscape or Microsoft Internet Explorer. SAAPS will offer several different tools to perform analysis of space weather data and the relation to spacecraft anomalies. SAAPS will also include tools for nowcasting and forecasting of space weather parameters and spacecraft anomalies.
The people and organisations providing the data that are used by SAAPS are highly acknowledged. The following list shows in alphabetical order the data used:
- ACE solar wind plasma and magnetic field data
- AE index
- Dst index
- Final Dst (see OMNI below).
- Near Real Time Dst from the WDC-C2 Kyoto, Japan.
- GOES particle and x-ray data
- Real time particle and X-ray ftp service from the Space Environment Center (SEC)
- The GOES Space Environment Monitor.
- Kp index
- LANL particle data
- OMNI data
The SAAPS models are implemented as Java Applets and will run from the web browser. SAAPS has been tested on the following environments:
Unfortunately, the Java Applets will not work in Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) running on a Microsoft Windows PC. The problem is that IE does not fully implement the Java language, and especially it does not include the Remote Method Invocation (RMI) Java classes. The solution is to use Netscape on the Windows machines.
Any user feedback are welcome. This can be about whether the tools work or not, the usefulness of the tools, and suggestions for improvements. Observe that SAAPS will be developed over time and more tools will be added. Comments or questions can be sent to Peter Wintoft.
