Research demonstrator

Nowcast Platform

A single, free access point to the key space weather indicators, in near real time and over the last seven days. Open to the scientific community, no signup.


The state of the space environment, on one page


Solar wind, particle fluxes, geomagnetic indices, solar imagery, ionosphere, cosmic rays and NOAA scales: the reference datasets, aggregated, traced and put back in context.

Nowcast Platform overview: space weather indicators, alerts and solar imagery

The Nowcast Platform interface.

What you get

Seven monitoring domains


Solar wind

Speed, density, temperature and interplanetary magnetic field, including the Bz component.

Particle fluxes

Electron and proton fluxes measured by the GOES and POES satellites, against NOAA alert thresholds.

NOAA scales

Observed R, S and G levels, latest X, M and C flares, and sunspot numbers.

Geomagnetic indices

Kp and Dst, the two reference indicators of geomagnetic activity.

Solar imagery

SDO images across several wavelengths and SOHO coronagraphs.

Ionosphere

Total electron content, S4 and ROTI scintillation indices, TEC and D-RAP maps.

Cosmic rays

Galactic cosmic ray flux, which drives radiation exposure at high altitude.

How we built it

Transparency, traceability, open access


Every chart states its source and instrument. The data comes from the major public centers — NOAA SWPC and NCEI, NASA SDO, SOHO, the SIDC, the World Data Center for Geomagnetism in Kyoto and DLR. The platform does not aim to replace these sources: it brings them together and makes them readable at a glance.

For operational use

Nowcast Platform observes. Augura Watch decides.


The Nowcast Platform is a research demonstrator: it shows the state of the space environment, without tying it to your assets. Augura Watch takes the same data foundation and connects it to your fleet: a risk score per satellite, alerts on your own thresholds, forecasts of high-risk passes and anomaly diagnostics.
