Abstract Space weather monitoring is critical to protect not only our technological assets in space, but also mitigate disruptions to life and society that depends on these vulnerable assets. Significant attention and resources have been dedicated to space weather monitoring at Earth, but little attention to date has been paid to planetary space weather monitoring. The MAVEN mission has instruments and capabilities to monitor solar eruptive events and in situ transients at Mars, but these data are typically not actionable due to long data latencies. Recent efforts have been made to upgrade the data pipeline to produce and serve solar X‐ray and EUV irradiance data from the MAVEN Extreme UltraViolet Monitor (EUVM) instrument with low‐latency, and these data are now available. This paper describes this MAVEN EUVM data real‐time processing and the space weather data products that are now available near real‐time to monitor space weather from Mars.
