Harmonisation of Thermal and Space Environment Analysis Software and Interfaces -<br />
Title:<br />
Exchange of Thermal Models via STEP-TAS<br />
Following successful mapping and roadmap definition meetings with national delegations and in<strong>du</strong>stry on the topic of<br />
“Harmonisation of thermal and space environment analysis software and interfaces” in 2002, a Steering Board with very good<br />
cross-in<strong>du</strong>stry representation was established in May 2003.<br />
This Steering Board has unanimously adopted the <strong>ESA</strong> proposed harmonised policy for thermal and space environment<br />
analysis software and interfaces which provides a solid basis on which to develop further these engineering tools and<br />
interfaces. More specifically, the Steering Board re-emphasised the need expressed by National Delegations for robust data<br />
exchange for thermal models.<br />
Objectives of the activity are the transfer of the STEP data exchange protocol libraries to Space Thermal Software and its<br />
S/W implementation. Furthermore, the activity will include demonstrations, evaluation and preliminary validation involving end<br />
users and the developers of the Space Thermal S/W. The activity will be led by an independent consultant for the overall<br />
management co-ordination.<br />

Title:<br />
Space Weather Warning for Space Systems<br />
The activity will investigate the detailed requirements and technologies to be deployed in an eventual operational "space<br />
weather for spacecraft" system, then perform prototyping. This should include sensor technologies, data analysis<br />
infrastructure (including distributed data centre technologies) and data-model fusion. System elements will be prototyped and<br />
deployed. Innovative techniques for direct observation of the sun, the interplanetary medium, and near-earth conditions will be<br />
investigated. Coupling observations and data resources with physics-based models of the interplanetary medium, disturbance<br />
propagation, and models of the magnetosphere, to predict hazardous conditions will be developed. Conditions will include:<br />
energetic solar particle event (SPE) arrival, magnitude and time-evolution at Earth; SPE's at non-Earth locations (for<br />
interplanetary science missions and Aurora); geomagnetic storm enhancements of the electron radiation belt and; hot plasma<br />
environments. Distributed "virtual" data centre architectures will be developed.<br />
Deliverables:<br />
System design, demonstration software, future development proposals.<br />
