CEDAR email: 2021 AGU Fall Meeting: session SA018 Science from an ITM CubeSat Constellation

[Klenzing, Jeffrey (GSFC-6750)]

Dear Colleagues,

We invite you to submit abstracts to the 2021 AGU Fall Meeting session SA018 “Science from an ITM CubeSat Constellation.”  This will be held as an eLightning session.  The link to the session is:  https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm21/prelim.cgi/Session/125322

The abstract submission deadline is: Wednesday, 04 August 2021 at 23:59 EDT/03:59+1 GMT.

The increased number of ITM CubeSat and nanosat missions provides a new opportunity to answer long-standing ITM science questions by treating these individual missions as an ad hoc constellation. Multiple missions are planned to launch over the next few years funded through multiple agencies both domestically and internationally. When grouped together, these missions can provide new insight into the dynamic nature and control mechanisms in the thin layer of ionized plasma between Earth’s atmosphere and space. The scientific value multiplies when analyzed alongside larger missions (such as ICON, GOLD, COSMIC-2) and ground networks (including imagers, GNSS, radar). This session invites papers on existing and future CubeSat and SmallSat missions, as well as science opportunities that will use the data from this ITM constellation to investigate the drivers of the variability of this region and coupling mechanisms. The presentations will be followed by group discussion on strategies for future observations.

Conveners:
Jeff Klenzing, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center
Rebecca Bishop, The Aerospace Corporation
Jim Spann, NASA Headquarters
Charles Swenson, Utah State University

We look forward to seeing you in New Orleans or online!

Cheers,
Jeff, Rebecca, Jim, and Charles
