Space weather monitoring API

Build an API that provides real-time space weather data for scientists and satellite operators. Historical data and anomaly detection could be valuable.

Why now

Increased satellite launches and solar activity make space weather monitoring crucial.

Who for
Scientists, satellite operators
Business model
API subscriptions
Effort
A few months

Scientists and satellite operators need reliable space weather data to predict solar storms and protect equipment.

Offer a simple API with real-time solar flare, geomagnetic storm, and radiation belt data. Include historical archives and anomaly alerts.

Sell subscriptions to research labs, aerospace companies, and satellite operators who need this data to mitigate risks.

Start with basic solar wind and flare data from public sources before adding proprietary models.

Risk: Competing with government-funded space weather services that offer free data.
