STARSQUALL
Our mission
Improving the outcomes of an increasingly satellite‑dependent society.
More than 16,000 active satellites carry the signals for modern navigation, guidance, and timing. Weather from the sun bends those signals and drags on the machines that send them. Starsquall watches the sun, the wind it drives across space, and how Earth responds — turning space weather into decisions: a forecast before trouble arrives, and a data‑driven account of the aftermath.
Terra — forecasts for precision work
Know before the sky costs you a field day.
Solar storms scramble the corrected GPS that steers tractors, drones, survey rovers, and graders. In May 2024, one storm pushed receivers up to 230 feet off course in the middle of planting season, resulting in roughly half a billion dollars lost in a week. Terra monitors geomagnetic storms throughout the year, providing risk assessments for your region with time to reschedule GPS-reliant operations.
Astra — storm forensics
After the storm. Forensic aftermath analysis.
When satellites drop, drift, or age faster than planned, someone owns the bill. Astra reconstructs the impacts of a storm to orbiting assets, generating forensic evidence for operators, insurers, and researchers. It runs as open research until its accuracy earns your trust. Findings published here first.
First case on the bench — the minor 2022 storm that took 38 satellites
