This study focuses on the development and implementation of a specialized technology to address the challenges posed by space weather on the performance and operational reliability of small spacecraft, particularly CubeSats and nanosatellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). The research emphasizes the importance of data acquisition, processing, and visualization of energy particle fluxes in near-Earth space, with a web application demonstrating visualization of average electron values in a heat map format. The proposed technology, in conjunction with space weather prediction methods, allows for quick response to adverse conditions, contributing to increased longevity and operational efficiency of small spacecraft. In the absence of comprehensive protection systems, the research suggests simple organizational methods as an effective approach for risk mitigation and reliability improvement, applicable even to spacecraft already in orbit.
