Solving the Space Weather Problem: A 15+ Year Roadmap to Revolutionize
Space Weather Research, Protect NASA Space Assets, and Enable Robust
Operations
Abstract
We propose a ‘system-of-systems’—an integrated web of SpWx stations
and state-of-the-art modeling facilities to enable a transformative
advance in Space Weather nowcasting and forecasting. The Space Weather
Aggregated Network of Systems (SWANS) will 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 by 2050
or earlier.
