Solenix together with its consortium partners DH Consultancy and SPARC have been awarded a new contract to design and develop a new tool to support spacecraft operators in the monitoring, forecasting, and reporting of the space weather environment and its influences on spacecraft operations. The development forms part of ESA’s Space Safety Programme which is continuing the work of the Space Situational Awareness Programme to develop a European network of Space Weather services targeting end user needs.

Last week our colleague Itziar Alonso went to Morocco to train experts from 25 African countries in cloud computing, as part of an event organised by the European Space Agency (ESA), the African Union Commission, the Joint Research Centre and EUMETSAT.

At Solenix, we have been working in the field of mission data analysis for the last 15 years. Through our work with European space institutions, we have supported the operations of many missions with tools that simplify and automate the analysis of spacecraft telemetry data, thanks to innovative ways of manipulating it and correlating it with other data sources.

Solenix went (almost) into space! Our first High Altitude Ballooning mission “Hugin’s Eye” launched on 29 June 2019 into the stratosphere. Hugin’s Eye started as a company-funded pet project with the goal to send a weather balloon, including its payload, in the heights above 30 Km.
