Problem
Satellite operators receive generic space weather bulletins that lack direct correlation to individual assets, resulting in delayed or inappropriate responses to solar events. This disconnect increases the risk of anomalies, reduces mission safety, and shortens satellite lifespans.
Solution
Pulsar provides a decision‑support platform that transforms raw space‑weather data into actionable alerts tied to each satellite’s NORAD ID, orbit, and mission profile. The system evaluates the risk of solar activity for specific assets and delivers concise recommendations—such as maneuver suspension, panel reorientation, or survival mode—to mitigate exposure. Alerts are generated in seconds, enabling operators to act before adverse conditions impact the spacecraft. Contextual analysis bulletins, authored by Pulsar’s scientific team, further explain the event and its implications, supporting informed operational planning.
Target Audience
Primary customers are commercial and government satellite operators managing medium to large constellations who need timely, asset‑specific space‑weather guidance to protect missions and extend satellite lifetimes.
Features
- Satellite‑specific risk scores calculated from real‑time solar activity and orbital parameters
- Automated action recommendations (e.g., maneuver hold, panel tilt, survival mode) tailored to each satellite’s configuration
- Immediate alert delivery via dashboard and integration‑ready APIs for existing ground‑segment tools
- Contextual analysis bulletins that summarize events and provide scientific rationale for the recommended procedures
- Mapping of alerts to NORAD IDs, enabling precise identification of affected assets across large constellations
