Software assisting data analysis of space radiation in spacecraft missions.

Space radiation data often reside in fragmented, mission-specific formats and require specialized software, posing challenges for the space weather community in terms of collaborative research and rapid analysis. To address these issues, we have developed a two-part software solution that, in its current stage, integrates measurements from the RADEM detector aboard ESA’s Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) mission and the IREM instrument on the INTErnational Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory (INTEGRAL).

The first component is a web application that automatically retrieves newly released data, performs basic validation, and stores it in a time-series database. Users can explore these measurements through interactive dashboards that support real-time visualization and simple data transformation queries, such as comparing fluxes between detectors, focusing on specific time intervals, or analyzing orbital parameters. The application’s containerized architecture ensures straightforward deployment on local or cloud infrastructure, making it accessible to diverse research teams.

The second component is a dedicated Python library that provides functions for reading and standardizing raw or higher-level data from multiple sources. Researchers can seamlessly access, merge, and analyze radiation measurements in a unified environment, significantly reducing manual overhead and scripting effort.

Initial feedback from early adopters indicates improved workflow efficiency and faster identification of specific events in the observed radiation environment. This integrated framework holds potential for broader applicability in future missions examining space weather phenomena.
