Our future

We are unpleased with existing Apps for Aurora forecasting. They are based on NASA’s K-Value for forecast. Further, they use the live Kp-Index or Aurora Ovation Models for live Aurora data.

The problem is, that the live Kp-Index is based on a mean value of geomagnetic activity form the last couple of hours. If the Kp-Index is high, you already missed out the main part of Auroras.

VIEWFINDR will integrate Satellite-Data which can be used to forecast Aurora activity for the upcoming 30min-60min. We also will catch events which went unseen for NASAs long-term forecasters. We will integrate all available sources of Aurora-Data to give you the most reliable overview of current events and Aurora potential. We will use your current location data for a personalised warning.

Free Apps don’t have the resources for an advanced calculus of Aurora-Data like VIEWFINDR. The easy available data is fine for most customers who want to see the Aurora once in their life, but not for VIEWFINDR users. We will give you the best tool for Aurora forecasting, combined with weather data for clear skies in one app.
