New instruments, platforms and initiatives for space weather currently have unprecedented opportunities to observe the physical systems that drive and that are driven by space weather phenomena. Commercial access to space, smallsats and cubesats, high altitude ballons, ISS continuing status, 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.
