<span class="x_ContentPasted0 ContentPasted0" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; color: black;">GDC is a six-satellite constellation, designed to investigate the dynamics of the coupling between the ionosphere and thermosphere, with two primary goals:
(1) </span><span class="x_ContentPasted0 ContentPasted0" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; color: black;">understand how the high latitude ionosphere-thermosphere system responds to variable solar wind/magnetosphere forcing and (2) understand how
internal processes in the global ionosphere-thermosphere system redistribute mass, momentum, and energy. Its orbital configuration will allow, for the first time, coverage of the full range of temporal and spatial scales in the I-T system. </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;text-indent:.25in">
<span class="x_ContentPasted0 ContentPasted0" style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">We invite presentations describing the GDC instrumentation and interdisciplinary science planned. In addition, presentations on possible investigations using the GDC measurements
in conjunction with other data sources and modeling efforts are solicited, including ideas for synthesizing the vast amounts of data engendered.</span><span class="x_ContentPasted0 ContentPasted0" style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"> We also solicit
presentations on current </span><span class="x_ContentPasted0 ContentPasted0" style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">missions and potential future missions that are synergistic with GDC, as well as presentations focused on the societal and industrial
benefits, such as communications and orbital drag. </span></p>
