Working Group on Innovations, Technology, Instruments, Data Systems

Back to Heliophysics Home Page

Working Group Lead
Andrew B. Christensen, Dixie State University
J. Todd Hoeksema, Stanford University

This cross-disciplinary working group will identify and prioritize cross-disciplinary approaches to technology and data systems, needed for future solar and space physics missions and research facilities.

Questions to be addressed:

• What are the near-term mission-specific technology and data system developments to meet specific mission and facilitiy requirements?
• What are the general technology and data system developments that will enable high-priority science on future missions?
• What are the development needs faced by solar and space physics?
  • Instruments
    • Remote sensing, in-situ, ground-based, active
  • Spacecraft systems and technology
    • Propulsion, launchers, miniaturization, formation flying, plug-and-play standards
  • Data Systems
    • Hardware, software, data exploitation tools, virtual observations, social media
