HELIO TODAY
NEXT GENERATION SPACE WEATHER FORECASTING
Ensuring the safety and reliability of space and ground-based infrastructure
Our advantage
HELIO TODAY is a paradigm shift in space weather forecasting: fully automated, precursor-driven, and built for mission-critical reliability.
We do the science so you don't have to: easy-to-read alerts, no complicated charts/models/probabilities.
We go beyond "nowcasting" - we really forecast: alerts minutes to hours before space weather storms occur.
Strategic partnerships for tailored operational delivery.
Innovation and PIONEERING TECHNOLOGy
Our forecast tools use real-time satellite data, fast and adaptive processing, and multi-region activity tracking to provide automated, round-the-clock space weather alerts.
● Patented solar flare forecasting, alerts ~30 minutes before HF radio disturbances.
● Data-driven early detection of solar plasma eruptions, alerts hours before major GPS navigation disturbances.
● Forecasts several days ahead of long-duration, increased atmospheric drag - a major contributor to satellite orbital decay and altitude loss.

Founded in 2023 by solar physicist Dr. Larisza Krista, her pioneering research drives our unmatched predictive capabilities. Guided by an expert Team of Advisors, we transform complex space physics into actionable insights.
In the News
Helio Physics Founder Awarded $600,000 NSF Grant to Advance CME Forecasting
Dr. Larisza Krista, CEO and Chief Scientist of Helio Physics, has been awarded a $600,000 Translation to Practice–Explore (NSF TTP-E) grant from the U.S. National Science Foundation. The award will fund research translating the earliest low-corona signatures of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) into actionable, near-Earth impact parameters — establishing forecasting criteria that can be built directly into next-generation space weather warning systems.
This work extends solar physics research into CME detection and forecasting, and will directly expand the capabilities of Helio Today, our deterministic space weather forecasting platform. Helio Today already integrates our patented flare-forecasting technology, DEFT, alongside detection systems for CMEs and coronal holes, delivering automated, real-time warnings to protect satellites, aviation, and power grid infrastructure from solar disturbances.
The NSF TTP-E program supports the translation of fundamental research into practical, deployable technology — bridging exactly the gap between scientific discovery and operational forecasting that Helio Today was built to close.
Helio Physics Completes Innosphere's 2025 Earth and Space Systems Accelerator
We are happy to announce that Helio Physics LLC has completed Innosphere's 2025 Earth and Space Systems Accelerator, a nine-month program run by Colorado's leading non-profit accelerator for science and technology companies. The accelerator, funded by the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT) and aligned with the NSF-funded ASCEND Engine, is designed to accelerate the growth of startups advancing innovations in Earth and space technologies across the Colorado-Wyoming region.
Over the course of the program, Helio Physics received targeted mentorship, investor readiness training, and access to Innosphere's network of corporate partners, research institutions, and government collaborators — resources aimed squarely at the challenge every deep-tech startup faces: translating validated science into a product ready for commercial deployment.
For Helio Today, our deterministic space weather forecasting platform, the accelerator has meant sharper positioning for industry customers, stronger investor-facing materials, and new connections across the Earth and space technology ecosystem in Colorado and beyond. Completing this program marks another step in Helio Physics' path from research to operational impact, building on two decades of solar physics research in space weather forecasting.
