Yes / A web-based prototype system for predicting solar energetic particle (SEP) events and solar flares for use by space launch operators is presented. The system has been developed as a result of the European Space Agency (ESA) project SEPsFLAREs (Solar Events Prediction system For space LAunch Risk Estimation). The system consists of several modules covering the prediction of solar flares and early SEP Warnings (labeled Warning tool), the prediction of SEP event occurrence and onset, and the prediction of SEP event peak and duration. In addition, the system acquires data for solar flare nowcasting from Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS)-based techniques (GNSS Solar Flare Detector, GSFLAD and the Sunlit Ionosphere Sudden Total Electron Content Enhancement Detector, SISTED) as additional independent products that may also prove useful for space launch operators. / This work has been developed in the frame of 34 SEPsFLAREs project (ESA Contract Number 4000109626/13/NL/ 35 AK), which is an activity funded by ESA/ESTEC Space Environ- 36 ment (TEC-EES) section. The authors of this work are grateful to 37 ESA’s MONITOR project (Contract Number 4000100988/2010/F/ 38 WE) for allowing the use of GSFLAD and SISTED products. 39 We also thank AGAUR (Generalitat de Catalunya) for the financial 40 support from Grant PDJ 2014 00074.
