Spacebuoy: A University Nanosat Space Weather Mission (III)

Abstract

The SpaceBuoy mission will demonstrate the utility of low-cost nanosatellites to provide focused observations to supplement ionospheric forecasting models; specifically the operational Global Assimilation of Ionospheric Measurements (GAIM) model currently used by the Air Force Weather Agency (AFWA). Data will be collected, processed and made available to end users in units standard to the forecasting community.
