Abstract
Space weather events in the 100–600 km thermosphere-ionosphere and magnetosphere impact satellites, Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), aviation, and power grids[1]. Current monitoring can be updated with sufficient spatial and temporal resolution and global coverage to meet World Meteorological Organization (WMO) standards, especially where solar activity accelerates orbital decay and radiation risks. This poster proposes addressing this with a hybrid constellation of 24 SmallSats employing advanced edge computing and multi-orbit observation, targeting operational readiness by 2032.
