13<sup>th</sup> at 10 am. The purpose of the session is to highlight current and potential future science returns involving CubeSats observations of the ionosphere and thermosphere. Below is an extended description of the session. If you are interested in
presenting results, please reach out to one of the convenors. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#2A2A2A;background:white">In the past five years, a number of CubeSat missions have successfully provided observations of the Ionosphere and lower thermosphere. Missions
such as SORTIE, IDEASSat, INSPIREsat1, DAILI, SPORT, and LLITED have provided a range of neutral and plasma measurements at altitudes below 550 km from a variety of instruments. This workshop focusses on the contributions of past, current, and future NSF and
NASA CubeSat missions and the role of their observational data in ongoing IT studies. The three objectives of the workshop are:</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#2A2A2A"><br>
<span style="background:white">1. Highlight observations and science returns from recent CubeSat missions.</span><br>
<span style="background:white">2. Forge collaborations among current and future CubeSat missions along with ground-based instruments and facilities for expanded studies and enhanced science returns.</span><br>
<span style="background:white">3. Promote observational capabilities of soon-to-be launched IT CubeSats.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
