abstract = "{Due to the rapidly increasing technological progress in the last
decades, the issue of space weather and its influences on our
everyday life has more and more importance. Today, satellite-
based navigation plays a key role in aviation, logistic, and
transportation systems. With the strong rise of the current
solar cycle 25 the number and intensity of solar eruptions
increasesd. The forecasting tool SODA (Satellite Orbit DecAy) is
based on an interdisciplinary analysis of space geodetic
observations and solar wind in-situ measurements. It allows the
prediction of the impact of in-situ measured interplanetary
coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) on the altitude of low Earth-
orbiting satellites at 490 km with a lead time of about 20 h,
which is defined as the time difference between measuring the
minimum B$_{z}$ component and the orbit decay reaching its
maximum. Additionally, it classifies the severeness of the
expected geomagnetic storm in the form of the Space Weather
G{\textendash}scale from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA). For the establishment and validation of
SODA, we examined 360 ICME events over a period of 21 years.
Appropriated variations in the thermospheric neutral mass
density, were derived mainly from measurements of the Gravity
Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite mission.
Related changes in the interplanetary magnetic field component
B$_{z}$ were investigated from real-time measurements using data
from spacecraft located at the Lagrange point L1. The analysis
of the ICME-induced orbit decays and the interplanetary magnetic
field showed a strong correlation as well as a time delay
between the ICME and the associated thermospheric response. The
derived results are implemented in the forecasting tool SODA,
which is integrated into the Space Safety Program (Ionospheric
Weather Expert Service Center; I.161) of the European Space
Agency (ESA).}",
