Statement of Task

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will appoint an ad hoc committee to organize a workshop that will consider options for continuity and future enhancements of the U.S. space weather operational and research infrastructure. A report of the workshop proceedings will follow. The workshop will:

  1. Review current and planned U.S. and international space weather-related observational capabilities;
  2. Discuss baseline space weather observational needs;
  3. Identify programmatic and technological options to ensure continuity of the baseline, giving particular attention to options to extend the Space Weather Follow On (SWFO) program; and
  4. Consider options for technology, instrument, and mission development to support in situ and remote sensing space weather observations from either ground- or space-based vantage points, the latter including L1, L5, L4, GEO, and LEO.

In response to a request from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration - and with the support of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the National Science Foundation - the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine conducted a two-part virtual workshop, "Space Weather Operations and Research Infrastructure," on June 16-17 and September 9-11, 2020. The overall goals of the workshop were to review present space weather monitoring and forecasting capabilities, to consider future observational infrastructure and research needs, and to consider options toward the further development of an effective, resilient, and achievable national space weather program. This publication summarizes the presentation and discussion of the workshop.
