SpaceDeck: Space Weather

Space weather, made for people who fly. A LIVE 3D AURORA GLOBE • Spin the Earth with the aurora oval glowing over the night side, city lights and the day/night line, straight from NOAA's OVATION nowcast. • Tap anywhere to see the aurora chance there right now. • See the best time tonight for your location, or scrub the 3-day Kp forecast and watch the oval move. • The globe is stored on your phone, so it works in airplane mode too. SpaceDeck turns live NOAA space weather into answers for the air: is the sun quiet tonight, will the aurora show on your flight, which side to look, and how much cosmic radiation does the trip give you? FLIGHT MODE: WORKS IN AIRPLANE MODE • Before departure SpaceDeck caches tonight's space weather. In the air it uses your phone's GPS, which works in airplane mode, to tell you live which window the aurora is on. • "Aurora now: look left" arrives as a notification and on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, with the dose so far. STORM COUNTDOWN • When NOAA forecasts a geomagnetic storm, SpaceDeck counts down to it, even on your Lock Screen. • Track your upcoming flights and get notified when a storm or aurora shows up for them. AURORA FROM THE FLIGHT DECK • Best on night flights between North America and Europe, and on evening flights to Iceland and northern Scandinavia. Daytime flights rarely get dark enough. • Search airports by city, name or code (ARN or ESSA), enter the time in local time or UTC. SpaceDeck models the auroral oval along your route and finds the windows when the aurora should be visible. • Watch your flight on the globe: the route lights up green where the aurora is in view, and the aircraft moves as you scrub. • It tells you which side to look: left or right window, with the time in UTC. • Scrub the flight and watch both cabin windows change: day, dusk, stars and aurora. • Get a reminder five minutes before each aurora window. SPACE WEATHER AT A GLANCE • NOAA R, S and G scales shown as cockpit-style annunciators: radio blackout, radiation storm, geomagnetic storm. • Live Kp index with history and forecast, plus a 3-day outlook. • A plain-language headline: "Quiet sun", "Geomagnetic storm G2" and what it means for HF, GNSS and radiation. FOR PILOTS AND CREW • ICAO space weather advisories (HF COM, GNSS, RADIATION) decoded into a readable timeline, with the raw message one tap away. • See which active advisories touch your route and when. • Optional alerts when a new ICAO advisory is issued. COSMIC RADIATION • An estimate of the radiation dose for each flight, based on altitude, geomagnetic shielding and the solar cycle. • Keep a personal dose log with an annual ring that shows the 1 mSv and 6 mSv reference levels used for aircrew in the EU. ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN • Home and Lock Screen widgets with the NOAA scales, Kp and advisory count. • A Live Activity for your flight: progress, dose and the next aurora window, also in the Dynamic Island. HELP IMPROVE THE FORECAST After an aurora window, tell SpaceDeck whether you saw it and on which side. Reports are anonymous and are used only to measure and improve the forecast. IMPORTANT SpaceDeck is for situational awareness and curiosity. It is not an approved source of operational information. Always use your operator's official briefing, ICAO advisories and NOTAMs for flight planning. Radiation figures are model estimates (about ±30%), not dosimetry. Free. No account. No ads. No tracking.
