New Scientific Measurements in near-Earth Space II Posters


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 53055

Session Description:
Several new space-based instruments and observatories dedicated to understanding conditions and processes in the ionosphere and upper atmosphere have come online in 2018. These systems will likely provide significant new scientific results and capability for operational model validation. This session is dedicated to informing the scientific community of the new observations that are now available and any new scientific findings that may be reported thus far from observatories in near-Earth space. Discussion of the potential or realization of scientific gains from collaborative efforts between ground-based instruments/networks or older space-based observatories is welcome.
