’s Alec Engell presented the Spacecraft Anomaly Resolution Knowledgebase (SPARK) technology at the NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration and National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) hosted Spacecraft Anomaly and Failures (SCAF) Workshop on March 24th.

SPARK is a spacecraft anomaly database that brings critical space situational awareness functionality by fusing spacecraft anomalies to relevant space environment measurements and models. It is extensible to existing anomaly resolution tools, presently hosts over 16,000 anomalies, and delivers cybersecurity protection for proprietary or sensitive information. includes cutting-edge dashboards, APIs, ML models for anomaly resolution, and a collaborative environment for forensic anomaly resolution efforts across interdisciplinary teams. SPARK is part of NextGen’s Space Weather Analyst (SWA) decision aid system. SWA is a real-time, solar-driven forecast capability for solar flares, solar radiation events, and coronal mass ejection arrival time and Bz. It has supportive tools such as NOAA visualized 3-day forecasts, operational solar imagery, and research-to-operations (R2O), including deploying NASA’s HelioCloud. SWA has been developed under two Phase II contracts with and , and a Phase I with . Check out the capability here: https://spark.nextgenfed.com/

We're excited to announce that NextGen has been awarded a prime contract under the SeaPort Next Generation (SeaPort NxG) program! As a prime contractor, NextGen will provide critical capabilities to the U.S. Navy, strengthening national defense and mission readiness. Read more: https://www.nextgenfed.com/2025/08/26/seaportnxg/
