NESDIS is implementing NOAA’s operational, satellite-based Space Weather observational strategic priority through a collaboration with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) called Space Weather Observations (SWO). SWO will developing and deploying operational Space Weather satellite systems that safeguard society and advance NOAA’s position as an international leader in innovative, operational satellite-based Space Weather observations and a trusted source of continuous Space Weather observations. In support of this, the Space Weather Next (SW Next) Program has established a Reference Program Architecture that identifies Space Weather observations to be made in various orbits. The SW Next mission seeks to fly Space Weather instruments in Low-Earth Orbit (LEO), Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO), Highly Elliptical Orbit (HEO), Lagrange Point 1 (L1), and Lagrange Point 5 (L5). Separate Flight Projects (one per orbit plane and one for ground) whose responsibilities are to acquire the Flight Segment assets needed to make these observations. Each Project determines what instruments should be developed for its orbit and observations. Together, along with the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) these joint NOAA/NASA Projects seek to develop and operate observatories to enable effective Space Weather decision support services by the Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) forecasters as an element of the NWS vision to build a (Space) Weather-Ready Nation.

E Pluribus Unum is a Latin phrase meaning "From many comes one. "This joint session explores the integrative strategies and approaches that will be needed to achieve the greatest Space Weather capability and best respond to the 2020 Promoting Research and Observations of Space Weather to Improve the Forecasting of Tomorrow (PROSWIFT) Act, from cross-Agency and international observing system partnerships to data stewardship for future AI-based algorithm developments and their eventual operational implementation. It explores broad-ranging and synergistic strategies and will be joint across the 26th Conference on Satellite Meteorology, Oceanography, and Climatology, 24th Symposium on Meteorological Observation and Instrumentation, 21st Conference on Space Weather, 20th Annual Symposium on New Generation Operational Environmental Satellite Systems, 14th Conference on Transition of Research to Operations, and 14th Symposium on Building a Weather-Ready Nation: Enhancing Our Nation's Readiness, Responsiveness, and Resilience to High Impact Weather Events.
