LIVING
WITH A STAR SCIENCE MISSIONS
The LWS Objective is to perform investigations in space to understand solar variability & its effects leading to a reliable
predictive capability of solar variability (i.e., space weather)
The Living With a Star approach is as follows
- Define the particle, plasma, and field environments surrounding
the Sun and Earth
- Perform investigations on the interactions and variations
of the particles, atmospheres, and fields between the Sun
and the Earth
- Identify and quantify the fundamental
physical processes responsible for these variations and
interactions
The LWS scope is the solar interior to the Earth's atmosphere.
LWS
MISSIONS FOR NEXT SOLAR CYCLE
Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO)
- Area immediately around the sun
- Investigate solar variability
Geospace Missions
- Empirically model Earth's space environment
- Investigate the response of this environment to varying
solar/solar wind input
Solar Sentinels
- Area between the Sun and Earth
- Investigate the effect of solar variability on the space
environment
