Enhanced Drag Modeling
Fly your satellites through a real-time first principles physics model to estimate drag and enhance station keeping capability.
Real-Time Atmospheric Density Data
Access a continuously updated nowcast of Earth’s total atmospheric density updated every 10 minutes.
Our Capabilities
Ensemble’s Satellite Drag Explorer and Space Weather Visualizer tools are powered by our Atmospheric Density API. Our API delivers data files representing a continuously updated nowcast of Earth’s total atmospheric density. The model runs about 20 minutes ahead of real-time and nowcast files become accessible every 10 minutes.

Satellite Drag Explorer
Ensemble's Satellite Drag Explorer flies satellite trajectories through a first-principles near real-time atmospheric physics-model: OAA's Coupled Thermosphere Ionosphere Plasmasphere Electrodynamics Model(CTIPe). This enables users to better assess and understand the local drag orce and estimated loss of altitudes for their satellite constellation in order to improve station-keeping capabilities.

Atmospheric Density API
About this API
Ensemble’s Atmospheric Density API delivers data files representing a continuously updated nowcast of Earth’s total atmospheric density, generating a nowcast file every 10 minutes.
- The API generates total atmospheric density in kg/m^3 as a function of longitude, latitude and partial pressure (instead of altitude).
- The API is designed to easily facilitate satellite trajectory model flythroughs as a near real time solution to calculate the local ionospheric drag of satellites in LEO and MEO.
- The model runs about 20 minutes ahead of real-time and nowcast files become accessible every 10 minutes.
- The API provides model density on a geographic longitude, latitude, altitude grid in a series of timestamped parquet files Example output grid: (rho(lon, lat, alt) The filename includes the date and time in ISO format.
- The API uses NOAA’s Coupled Thermosphere Ionosphere Plasmasphere Electrodynamics Model (CTIPe) currently hosted on the Integrated Space Weather Framework (ISWA) within the Architecture for Collaborative Evaluation (ACE) compute environment
The API converts raw model output to partial pressure using Kamodo’s function composition and coordinate transformation space physics-as-a-service Analysis Suite.
