100CD-05 – MULTI-POINT MEASUREMENTS IN SPACE FOR SPACE WEATHER APPLICATIONS

Session Conveners: Aurélie Marchaudon (aurelie.marchaudon@irap.omp.eu), Lasse Clausen (lasse.clausen@fys.uio.no), Beatriz Sanchez-Cano (bscmdr1@leicester.ac.uk)

Description: Multi-point measurements in space are more and more required in the study of the Sun-Earth relations and their applications in the framework of Space Weather, either to ensure a better discrimination of the spatial and temporal effects as it is the case for example of satellite swarms or joint satellite-rocket measurements or to ensure a better spatio-temporal coverage of a specific study region with in particular satellite constellations. At the two extremes of the spectrum, we find purely scientific missions such as ESA-Cluster, ESA-Swarm, NASA-Themis, NASA-MMS or the future NASA-HelioSwarm and NASA-GDC missions and commercial constellations for which some data used to ensure the attitude of the satellites have been diverted to scientific uses (determination of the Earth’s parallel currents from magnetometers on board the IRIDIUM constellation: AMPERE project). With the emergence of New Space, including the rise of nanosatellites, it becomes possible to consider new multi-point projects to improve the space-time coverage of the Sun-Earth system, in particular, but not only, for the near-Earth environment (radiation belts, ionosphere-thermosphere) and to allow a more global description and a better assimilation of the associated data in the forecasting models of these regions. In this session, we call for all contributions presenting original space projects using multi-point (satellites, cubesat, rockets, and why not balloons or a combination of these different devices), with possible applications for Space Weather.
