Post-Event Analysis
Welcome to the Spacecraft Operation - Post event analysis service
Overview
The service “Spacecraft Operation - Post event analysis” aims to provide the possibility to correlate a particular spacecraft effect experienced during the operation of a spacecraft with space environment data. To obtain a quantitative assessment of the space environment at a given time in the past, the ESA Space Weather Service Network provides an archive of the monitoring of phenomena that can lead to potentially hazardous and sudden effects on spacecraft (e.g. magnetic storms, substorms, high-speed streams, solar energetic particle events, Earth-directed CMEs, meteor streams, and debris clouds). The space environment data near the location of the spacecraft can then be compared to specific spacecraft conditions in terms of the observed effects or anomalies.
The service is intended for personnel such as spacecraft operators who want to understand the cause of observed effects or anomalies in spacecraft (e.g. SEE, ESD, errors in magnetorquing and sudden drag-induced orbit changes in LEO) in order to take the necessary precautions in case similar space weather conditions occur again, and and use this information for future spacecraft models or versions.
This service is implemented through a combination of products and tools which can be found in the sections below along with expert support provided by the teams constituting the ESA Space Weather Service Network. Should you require further guidance in the use of this service, or have specific questions about any aspects of the service presented here, don’t hesitate to contact the Helpdesk.

User Manual
Transient space weather phenomena (e.g. solar flares, coronal mass ejections, solar energetic particles, ...) can cause sudden and large changes in the space environment. Although spacecraft, equipment and components are designed to operate in this harsh and changing environment, space weather events can still cause anomalous behavior. In particular, an increase can occur in:
- rates of destructive and non-destructive single event effects;
- surface potentials;
- internal charging levels;
- dose and non-ionising energy loss degradation;
- magnetic torque deviations;
- drag causing orbit alteration;
- EM interference;
- comminucation distruptions.
