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.
At the moment there are three tools implemented:Data plotter, Superposed epoch analysis, Estimate risk of internal charging.
The SAAPS models are implemented as Java Applets and will run from the web browser. SAAPS has been tested on the following environments:
The Java Applets will not work in Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) running on a Microsoft Windows PC. It seems that the cause of the problem is that IE does not fully implement the Java language, and it is also not possible to select an alternative Java Virtual Machine from the web browser.
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.
