The Moon to Mars (M2M) Space Weather Analysis Office located at Goddard Space Flight Center was established to support NASA’s Space Radiation Analysis Group (SRAG) at Johnson Space Center with human space exploration activities by providing novel capabilities to characterize the space radiation environment. Crewed missions beyond Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) and outside of the Earth’s protective magnetic field require additional real-time space weather analysis, better communication of radiation risk, and improved space weather modeling that include solar energetic particle models. M2M recently supported SRAG through the duration of the Artemis I mission with 24/7 real-time space weather analysis and support. This was done to validate research models in a real time setting. M2M will work as the proving grounds and testbed for the aforementioned capabilities that will eventually transition to operational agencies. Additionally, M2M provides support for NASA robotic missions with space weather event notifications and anomaly assessments. We will present the Office’s goals, infrastructure, and model validation activities to support SRAG and NASA missions in collaboration with the Community Coordinated Modeling Center (CCMC) and other government agencies.
