Description: The Spacecraft Anomaly Resolution Knowledgebase (SPARK) is a coupled anomaly database, space environment database from 1986-present, a powerful analytics software package, and an intuitive user interface -- all hosted in a secure cloud-native infrastructure. It builds on past, current, and new anomaly databases, employs powerful analytical techniques, and is interoperable with other spacecraft-related tools. It improves the ability of spacecraft owners, operators, and other stakeholders to understand and potentially mitigate space weather environments adversely affecting space assets. SPARK addresses the SBIR topic call for “products that directly aid in spacecraft-anomaly resolution and assist end users such as spacecraft operators.” SPARK extends the relevant SPRINTS framework to offer highly reactive user dashboards capable of visualizing 35+ years of space weather time-series and associated event (e.g., solar flare or inputted anomaly) data at 1-minute resolution in seconds. SPARK has powerful time series data annotation tools for users to add to space weather or anomaly event information with associated APIs for database input and retrieval. Users securely input satellite diagnostic information – either events or time-series that can be used in additional analysis. Users can choose to share their anomalies or use them in their own secure SPARK deployment with other shared anomalies.

Benefits: Our primary NASA customer is the Goddard Space Flight Center and their supported Spacecraft Orbital Anomaly Report System (SOARS) application. SPARK can potentially improve SOARS ability for data access and analysis. Additional customers may also include NASA JPL, who have a more restricted anomaly database that SPARK may be suitable to provide secure interfacing for. Finally, NASA CCMC is a potential user and customer for their role in supporting anomaly resolution for supported NASA spacecraft missions.

NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) to support anomaly resolution. NOAA Traffic Coordination System for Space (TraCSS) to support space situational awareness with environmental data and anomaly resolution. Coordinated Group for Meteorological Satellites (CGMS) to support anomaly databasing and resolution. The space insurance and reinsurance industry is also a potential customer.
