Description:

Recent developments in the technical space weather community enable new opportunities to observe the physical systems that drive, and that are driven by, space weather phenomena. New instruments, platforms, and initiatives such as commercial access to space, smallsats and cubesats, high altitude balloons, the ISS, and many other investments by DoD, Civilian Agencies, Academia, International efforts, and crowd-sourcing are paving the way for new science and greater understanding of the physics and impacts of space weather. This session invites those who are involved in these efforts that have recent results, have upcoming missions, can provide space weather observing access, or a promising initiative that can observe space weather phenomena.
