The rise of small satellite constellations for Earth observation</h2><p><strong>Session ID#: </strong> 13542</p>
<h5>Session Description:</h5>
<div class="">Earth and geospace observation from
space-based constellations holds the promise of simultaneous global
coverage at high temporal resolution. The maturation of small satellite
and constellation technologies is providing new opportunities for
making the next great leap in science and applications, using
multi-point observatories. This session explores Earth and space
science problems that are or could be addressed using small satellite
constellations or swarms and the underlying observation approaches that
make new solutions possible. We invite contributions presenting current
or planned missions, mission concepts, studies that define measurement
requirements, and new and developing technologies that specifically
enable constellations.<br><br></div>
