  • IPSAT: Ionizing particle in space analysis tool - "It is now well known that all instruments devoted to ionizing charged particle measurements flying in space are never perfect. Response analysis for each instrument is very time consuming but must be always done before any use of those data. For such purpose a software has been developed at ONERA-DESP under CNES funding to analyze saturation, contamination and other problems in any instrument and to cross calibrate measurements between spacecraft in an easy way. The software allows to compose time series plots of various spacecraft/instruments to compare them in a quick way, to plot correlation between two data sets and check for the coherence among all data. Moreover, the IPSAT software allows to plot in situ measurement along various orbits for any time from 1990 to present. The available data range from public access to private access to ONERA or partners. The available orbits with measurements on-board are LEO, MEO, GEO and some GTO and HEO with more or less continuous time coverage. The current data base is now about 400 Go. This can be very helpful for spacecraft anomaly analysis especially in case the spacecraft has no radiation measurements on-board. The IPSAT software can be accessed on the web after being registered."
  • IRBEM (Formerly ONERA DESP) This software library contains MATLAB and IDL wrappers to various geomagnetic field models. With this library, one can compute the magnetic coordinates (i.e., L, L*) at any location in Earth's magnetosphere.
  • The AP-8/AE-8 (A=Aerospace, E=electron, P=proton and MIN and MAX versions correspond to solar min and max conditions, respectively) models ... . These models may be run at the CCMC. The AP-8 MIN/MAX model was described by Sawyer and Vette, 1976. Search for AP-8 AE-8 at NASA/ADS.
  • AP-9/AE-9 model is under development and a beta version is expected in CY 2009. It is intended to provide the same outputs of the AP-8/AE-8 model with the addition of error bars and uncertainties due to variability. For updates on the status of this model, watch the meeting links below. An update was given at the 2009 meeting and more information is available at lws-set.gsfc.nasa.gov. Eventually the code will be a part of the IRBEM package and AF-GEOSPACE.
  • SIZM A radiation belt proton, antiproton, and secondary model.
  • Tsyganenko Magnetic Field Models
  • SPENVIS Given a spacecraft trajectory or a coordinate grid, it calculates geomagnetic coordinates. trapped proton and electron fluxes, solar proton fluences, and many other parameters.
  • ModelWeb Run various ionospheric, geomagnetic, and magnetospheric models from a web interface.
  • "AF-GEOSPACE is a user-friendly, graphics-intensive software program bringing together many of the space environment models, applications, and data visualization products developed by the Air Force Research Laboratory and others in the space weather community."
