Scientific paper

NASA's LWS Geospace Programs has defined a sequence of space missions dedicated to making the most advances in science understanding dealing with the immediate impacts of geospace on humans and their technology systems. One of these focused missions, the Radiation Belt Storm Probes is being implemented with the recent NASA Announcement of Opportunity for instrument proposals. The launch date of the other Geospace mission, the Ionosphere-Thermosphere Storm Probes (I-TSP), has consequently been delayed until the middle of the next decade. This changes its planned coordination with other space resources like the EVE instrument on SDO, but does not affect the importance of the two in situ measuring spacecraft compromising the I-T Storm Probes. Indeed, since the original science definition of the mission increasing concern has been expressed by the US Department of Defense and private industry about communication, guidance disturbances and spacecraft orbit perturbations resulting from the ionosphere-thermosphere properties that the I-TSP's will be configured to understand. The practical value of this mission and the focusing of its instruments, orbit configuration and collaborative observations on understanding the underlying physics of how the I-T system impacts human systems will be shown.
