Session details - ST4.9/EMRP2: The transformative role of LEO satellites 
for studying the geospace dynamics

/Over the last 20 years, numerous spacecraft have been launched into 
near-Earth space. In particular, the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) is becoming 
an increasingly popular destination for new missions. There are many 
advantages of utilizing the LEO orbit, such as the relatively low launch 
costs, close proximity to the Earth – crucial for studying the 
atmosphere-ionosphere system, as well as for geomagnetic field 
observations – and a more rapid turnover of spacecraft which allows to 
keep up with state-of-the-art technology. The LEO orbit is now home to 
over 3000 satellites, and the total number of spacecraft is set to 
substantially increase in the following years. The LEO missions have 
provided enormous volumes of data, and offer unprecedented opportunities 
for transforming our knowledge of various regions and processes within 
the geospace./

/This session focuses on the analysis and interpretation of new data 
sets collected by LEO satellites, including CubeSats, and their possible 
use for modeling and applications related to Space Weather. We invite 
contributions that analyze the ionosphere-thermosphere-magnetosphere 
system, effects of particle precipitation, and geomagnetic field 
measurements, among other topics. Studies using both in-situ and remote 
sensing observations are encouraged. This session is also open to 
exploring novel data sets that were previously inaccessible, including 
commercial data recently released to the public, as well as data sets 
where scientific applications arose as unintended by-products of other 
analyses. Studies involving multi-spacecraft analysis are particularly 
encouraged. Additionally, submissions related to concept and 
Observations System Simulation Experiment (OSSE) studies for new and 
planned missions are welcome./

Keynote speaker:

We are thrilled to announce Professor Robyn Millanof Dartmouth College 
as our confirmed invited speaker. Prof. Millan will present the new 
CubeSat mission named CINEMA, recently advanced through NASA’s 
Heliophysics Small Explorers (SMEX) program. The mission will provide 
unprecedented insights into Earth's dynamic magnetotail and aurora, 
offering a cross-scale view of these systems from LEO orbit.

We eagerly anticipate your valuable contributions and thank you for 
considering participation in this session.

Sincerely yours,

Artem Smirnov,
Fabricio Prol,
Solene Lejosne,
