Plasma and Energetic Electron Environment and Effects Extension S/C Anomaly Analysis

ESTEC/Contract No. 13561/99/NL/SB

Authors: Lars Eliasson and Peter Wintoft

Peter Wintoft has been on vacation for the most of July and this report covers the activities for the last week of July.

A major geomagnetic storm occurred around 14-15 July with extreme values for many geomagnetic indices (Kp=9 during July 15) and extreme levels of protons with the >100 MeV peaking around noon the 14 and >1 MeV peaking at noon the 15. Mikael Pålsson at Esrange was contacted at the end of July about the 14-15 event but they did not experience any problems during this period. However, they had some non-critical telemetry problems on July 12 and July 18. We made a quick analysis and compared the events with the data in SAAPS but there was no clear correlation.

The SAAPS SRD has been further developed. Work has been carried out on the Specific Requirement section so that the SRD now is close to a "1.x" version.

An updated User Requirements Document for the database and database tools URD v ersion 1.1 of WP110 was delivered on 27 April 2000.

The Software Requirements Document SRD version 0.4 was updated in June 2000.

The technical note TN 1 (Database and database tools) version 0.2 was delivered on 31 January 2000. This note had previously the title Exploration of data.

Work has started during March 2000.

Start T0+15 according to the schedule

The User Requirements Document for the Satellite Anomaly Analysis Module URD W P210 version 1.1 was delivered on 4 November 1999.

The Software Requirements Document SRD version 0.4 was updated in June 2000.

An updated version of the technical note was delivered mid-March. An updated version of TN 2 (Satellite anomaly analysis module) version 0.2 was submitted 3 April 2000.

Work has started during March 2000.

Start T0+17 according to the schedule

The prototype was installed on the server in April 1999.

The User Requirements Document URD W P310 draft version 1 was delivered on 17 November 1999.

The Software Requirements Document SRD version 0.4 was updated in June 2000.

The technical note TN 3 (Satellite anomaly prediction module) version 0.2 was delivered on 17 January 2000.

Work has started in April 2000.

Start T0+19 according to the schedule.

None

Development work on all modules will continue. WP130 should be finished by the end of this month according to the schedule.

None

The following 5 Action Items were discussed at the MTR held at ESTEC 28 February. (Will be confirmed when the minutes from the MTR is signed).

1. Peter Wintoft will send questionnaires to ESOC during March. **Questionnaires have been sent 17 April.**

2. Peter Wintoft will continue the investigation of the availability of LEO data. Report will be given at the next progress meeting.

3. Peter Wintoft will investigate the availability of other solar magnetograms especially European ones. Information will be included in the updated version of the URD for WP110.

4. Peter Wintoft will send an updated version of the URD for WP110 to Alain Hilgers during week 10. **Updated version of the URD has been submitted 27 April.**

5. Alain Hilgers will, during week 9, provide a new anomaly data set for which confidentiality will be kept.

Invoice for progress payment will be sent after verified delivery of the SRD as decided on the MTR.

The PM3 will be held in Lund 14-15 August.
