R-ESC. ESA SSA SWE Network. Space Situational Awareness (SSA) program Space Weather Segment (SWE ) Goal: develop a system that provides space weather services to end users
E N D
ESA SSA SWE Network • Space Situational Awareness (SSA) program • Space Weather Segment (SWE) • Goal: develop a system that provides space weather services to end users • Bring together European expertise and assets in a federated approachdistributed over five Expert Service Centres (ESCs) • SSA SWE Coordination Centre (SSCC) is the first line of support for end-user with second line support from the ESCs
Expert Service Centre for Space Radiation (R-ESC) • Coordinated by the Royal Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy: • Coordinator: Norma Crosby • Deputy: Mark Dierckxsens • Network of • 8 Expert Groups providing products • 5 Consultants providing specific expertise http://swe.ssa.esa.int/space-radiation
