Information for Service Users
The ESA Space Safety Programme actively addresses user communities that are sensitive to space weather, such as spacecraft operations, power systems operations or airlines. Targeted service developments aim to address the needs of these groups for accurate and timely space weather information. The ESA SWE Service Portal provides access to a total of 29 user-tailored services that build on more than 300 individual products and tools!
Each space weather service contains a tailored selection of products, tools, alerts combined with user support and guidance. Although many of the products can be used independently - bringing them together and grouping into user driven services proves a complete picture of ongoing and upcoming space weather conditions tailored towards the needs of a given user group. To familiarise yourself with the portal, we recommend you follow our Introductory Tutorial and delve into our Leaflet.
