Dear Colleagues,

The XXXVIth URSI General Assembly and Scientific Symposium (URSI GASS 2026) will be held in Krakow, Poland, from August 15 to 22, 2026 (https://www.ursi-gass2026.pl)

We invite you to submit contributions to Session HG01 - Small satellites, suborbital experiments, and new instruments for near-Earth space science

Session Description: The rapid maturation of small satellites and CubeSats in Earth orbit and beyond has opened the door to new observations of the space environment. These small satellites have enabled novel mission and instrument designs, missions with focused and dedicated science goals, and arrays or constellations of spacecraft for multi-point measurements. This session solicits contributions describing recent or upcoming small satellite, sounding rocket, or high-altitude balloon missions aimed at addressing science goals in the near-Earth space environment through remote sensing and/or in-situ measurements. We welcome contributions related to missions, spacecraft, and instruments targeting observations and understanding of near-Earth space, including plasma waves, fields, particle populations, and wave-particle interactions; and/or analysis of data from recent missions with similar science goals.

URSI also offers a rich program for students and young scientists, including awards and competitions.
