Description
ESA's Distributed Space weather Sensor System (D3S) has the objective of providing data for now- and forecasting of space weather and observing space weather effects. Due to the multitude of observable and needed measurement locations, D3S is a system of systems, implemented through hosted payload missions as well as dedicated small missions. Currently 5 instrument are providing near-realtime data from hosted payload missions and many more will follow in the coming years. In addition, three dedicated missions are being implemented to launch in the coming years. The current status of the system, as well as future plans, including a mission to the radiation belts and a sub-L1 observatory, will be presented.
