The Space Weather Instrumentation, Measurement, Modelling and Risk - Thermosphere (SWIMMR-T) project is a "Research to Operations" (R2O) initiative designed to improve the UK’s ability to monitor and forecast the Earth’s thermosphere (the atmospheric layer from ~90 km to 1,000 km). While this region is the primary environment for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, it is highly sensitive to solar activity and long-term climate change. The project’s main goal is to provide the Met Office Space Weather Operations Centre (MOSWOC) with high-fidelity models to predict satellite drag and prevent orbital collisions.
