Space Environment Information System (SPENVIS)

SPENVIS is an ESA operational software developed and maintained at BIRA-IASB. It provides standardized access to models of the hazardous space environment through a user-friendly web interface. The system allows spacecraft engineers to perform rapid analysis of environmental problems related to natural radiation belts, solar energetic particles, cosmic rays, plasmas, gases, and ‘micro-particles’. It includes various reporting and graphical utilities and extensive help facilities, allowing engineers with relatively little familiarity to produce reliable results. The SPENVIS system is also used by some technical universities in their educational programs.
