SH41B:
Space Weather Research and Forecasting: Building Tomorrow's Space Weather Architectures I
Submit an Abstract to this Session
Session ID#: 61320
Session Description:
We still find that society is ever-more reliant on technologies/energy supplies susceptible to interruption/damage from space weather (SW) (communications/transport, GNSS-positioning/timing, power, etc.). As a result, several new infrastructures, missions, and models are being developed to improve forecasting capabilities, our understanding of the impacts, and to engineer in better mitigation solutions.
This is fourth incarnation of the session (since 2015) where the focus now specifically turns to new ideas about future space-/ground-based SW architectures. Multiple ongoing international studies are scoping the options for sustained/improved SW observations. New observing locations (e.g. L5) as well as advanced concepts based on small satellites and splitting larger missions into smaller sub-elements (fractionation) are being considered in these studies.
We solicit contributions of: ideas/discussions regarding sustainable SW observations/architectures; how small satellites can be used to supplement SW architectures; whether GOES-SWFO-L5 provides the needed observations/sustainability; and what new technologies challenge the past ways of undertaking SW research/operations.
