... The combination of MagEx observations with those near Earth will improve models of the solar and heliospheric magnetic field, eventually providing better predictions throughout the heliosphere. Sub-L1 Monitors: Required Science Discoveries Before Operations Noé Lugaz, University of New Hampshire, https://vimeo.com/showcase/7518343/video/454811604 To improve the lead time of accurate space weather forecast, it will be necessary in the near future to launch monitors closer to the Sun than L1.

... Evaluating Solar SAil Technology Readiness for NOAA Space Weather Missions Patricia Mulligan, NOAA/MITRE, https://vimeo.com/showcase/7518343/video/454811514 Recent progress in solar sail development and flight testing suggests that solar sails will technology will soon be able to provide access to a point closer to the Sun than L1. The Solar Cruiser Mission, if selected for flight under the Heliophysics Announcement of Opportunity, would launch in 2024.

... Solar Cruiser: Enabling New Vistas for Heliophysics Les Johnson, Marshall Space Flight Center, https://vimeo.com/showcase/7518343/video/454811366 NASA MSFC is developing the Solar Cruiser mission concept to mature solar sail technology for use in future space missions. Solar Cruiser is a pathfinder for missions that observe the solar environment from unique vantage points such as sub-L1 for advanced warning of solar storms, observations away from the Sun-Earth line (SEL)

... is an integrated web of SpWx stations and state of-the-art modeling facilities to enable space situational awareness for end-users invested in spaceflight operations, infrastructure risk mitigation, and future human endeavors in space exploration while profoundly transforming Heliophysics research. A Machine Learning Approach to Forecasting Proton Flux with Electron Flux Jesse Torres, Lulu Zhao, Philip Chan, and Ming Zhang, Florida Institute of Technology, https://vimeo.com/showcase/7518343/video/454811766 Because of their speed difference, near-relativistic electrons released from solar energetic particle events often arrive at Earth significantly earlier than protons of energies from tens to a few hundred MeV.

... It discusses the data required to support that endeavor into the future and emphasize the need for data that can be easily integrated into global retrospective and real time radiation environments. SWx TREC's Space Weather Data Portal and Model Staging Platform Jenny Knuth and Greg Lucas, CU Boulder, SWx TREC, LASP, https://vimeo.com/showcase/7518343/video/454811256 The Space Weather Technology, Research, and Education Center (SWx TREC)

... STRATEGIES/ARCHITECTURES Architectures for Space Weather Magnetographs Neal Hurlburt, Lockheed Martin Advanced Technology Center, https://vimeo.com/showcase/7518343/video/454811554 As we move to the next generation of space weather observing systems, a key driver is the optimal architecture for photospheric (and possibly chromospheric or coronal) magnetic field measurements.

... The SW impacts in the T-I include disruption of radio wave propagation from plasma irregularities, including GNSS positioning, navigation, and timing, and HF communications, and satellite drag, orbit prediction in low-Earth orbit, and space traffic management from neutral density. The study reviewed potential satellite orbits and observation methods, and we would appreciate feedback from the community on the recommendation.
