Addressing Gaps in Space Weather Operations and Understanding With Small Satellites

Abstract Gaps in space weather observations that can be addressed with small satellites are identified. Potential improvements in solar inputs to space weather models, space radiation control, estimations of energy budget of the upper Earth's atmosphere, and satellite drag modeling are briefly...

Description
Summary:Abstract Gaps in space weather observations that can be addressed with small satellites are identified. Potential improvements in solar inputs to space weather models, space radiation control, estimations of energy budget of the upper Earth's atmosphere, and satellite drag modeling are briefly discussed. Key observables, instruments, and observation strategies by small satellites are recommended. Tracking optimization for small satellites is proposed.
