1. Progress status

The main activity has been the development of Java code with the aim to have a prototype SAAM (Satellite Anomaly Analysis Module). The first item to realize in the SAAM is a function for performing superposed epoch analysis. For this purpose it was early recognized that a preliminary database and database tools had to be developed first. Further, a library of mathematical and statistical functions also had to be developed. The work is further described under WP205 below.

Further contact with Mikael Pålsson at Esrange. Decided to have a meeting at Esrange to discuss the functions of SAAPS and the inclusion of new anomaly data. A meeting is planned to be held at Esrange in the afternoon 13 October 1999. The preliminary list of participants is: from Esrange; Raimo Pesämma, Mikael Pålsson, and Mikael Töyrä from IRF-Kiruna; Lars Eliasson, and from IRF-Lund; Peter Wintoft

The web pages of SAAPS have been moved to the new server at http://www.irfl.lu.se/saaps. The new user ID to log in to the internal pages is "saaps" with the same password as previously.

WP 110 URD for data base and data base tools

Draft version 2 of the URD was sent to Alain Hilgers 20 August.

WP120 SRD for data base and data base tools

Start T0+6 according to the schedule

WP130 Development of data base and data base tools

Start T0+11 according to the schedule

WP140 Test and update database

Start T0+15 according to the schedule

WP205 Prototype of Spacecraft Anomaly Analysis, SAA

A prototype was installed on the server in April 1999.

The code developed during WP205 includes the following:

• a general database program that includes methods for storing and retrieving data to and from the database.

• a user interface to inspect the database and the metadata.

• a user interface to plot the data in the database.

• automated download of real time Kp and ACE solar wind data that are stored into the database.

• conversion of the Meteosat-3 and Tele-X anomaly data from ASCII files to the database.

• Java classes for vector based arithmetics.

• Java classes for statistical functions.

• a user interface to perform superposed epoch analysis on the data in the database and the anomaly database.

The programs are not yet available from a web browser. However, the necessary applets will be developed within about a week.
