ESA Space Weather Service Network Dashboard

Current Space Weather Conditions

The ESA Space Weather Service Network provides a comprehensive overview of the current space weather conditions. This dashboard includes data from a variety of sources, including the International Space Environment Service (ISES), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the European Space Agency (ESA). The dashboard provides information on a variety of space weather parameters, including solar activity, geomagnetic activity, and ionospheric conditions.

Kp Index

The Kp index is an important measure of the energy input from the solar wind to Earth. It is used by space weather forecasters to predict the likelihood of geomagnetic storms. The Kp index is a scale from 0 to 9, with higher values indicating more intense geomagnetic activity. Today, the Kp index is 3, which indicates moderate geomagnetic activity.

Space weather can have a significant impact on our planet. Geomagnetic storms can disrupt power grids, communications, and GPS systems. They can also pose a hazard to astronauts and satellites. The ESA Space Weather Service Network provides valuable information that can help us to mitigate the effects of space weather.
