<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">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.
