Description

This session examines the current and future use of ESA’s space weather services in support of solar system exploration missions. It will address the needs of mission operations teams, science operations, and other end users. The discussions will consider the existing SWESNET solar and heliospheric products and forecasts, as well as the capabilities required in the coming years. A key contribution to the session will be the recent end-user campaigns and tailored mission bulletins developed by the SSA Space Weather Coordination Centre (SSCC).
(Convenors: Chris Perry (STFC/ RAL Space), Thanassis Katsiyannis (ROB))
