CEDAR email: Invitation to Sign: CEDAR Community Letter Supporting DYNAMIC and GDC

[Lynn Harvey]

Dear CEDAR Community,
As you know, this is a critical moment for space science funding. The federal appropriations process is underway, and decisions being made now will shape the future of our field for years to come. In light of this, I’m writing to share a CEDAR Community Letter of Support for the DYNAMIC and GDC missions and to invite you to sign on if you support this message.
View and Sign the Letter Here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TleHcVrBa_2FdDLC9KxptJL439Nrfy87/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=108901700657462344376&rtpof=true&sd=true
This letter highlights the scientific and strategic value of DYNAMIC and GDC—two missions long supported by our community and prioritized in multiple Decadal Surveys and assessments. These missions exemplify the kind of societally relevant, system-level science CEDAR is uniquely positioned to advance, from improving satellite drag predictions and space weather modeling to enabling resilient navigation and communication infrastructure.
I recognize that our advocacy must extend far beyond individual missions. This effort is in addition to—not instead of—the broader push to restore funding for NASA, NSF, and NOAA science programs. This letter builds on past community statements of support for DYNAMIC and GDC. With appropriations still in flux, now is the time to advocate for missions that are closely aligned with CEDAR science.
If you agree with the message, I encourage you to sign and share with colleagues. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns.
With gratitude and urgency,
V. Lynn Harvey
Chair, CEDAR Science Steering Committee
