Welcome to the SPACECAST web site, a resource providing support for satellite operators, designers and insurers, and information for the general public.
SPACECAST is a Collaborative Project funded by the European Union Framework 7 programme to help protect satellites on orbit by modelling and forecasting particle radiation.

SPACECAST is a three year project which runs until 28 Feb 2014. At present, the web site
provides a forecast of high energy electron fluxes and an associated risk
index. The underlying models will be
improved as part of the research element of the project.
In future, we will also provide a forecast of low energy electrons,
modelling of Solar Energetic Particles and an alert service.
Visit our
site map
for a tour of the site.
Access to the web site is unrestricted, however, future products such as
the alert services will require a registered account. You can already sign
up for an account, so we can contact you when new products
come online.
