Scientific paper

Radiation Belt Storm Probes (RBSP) is a NASA Living With a Star (LWS) mission dedicated to understanding how populations of relativistic electrons and ions in space form and change in response to variable energy inputs from the Sun. Fifty years after the discovery of trapped radiation, RBSP aims to understand the trapped radiation populations ideally to the point of predictability. Understanding and prediction are essential for designing and operating governmental and commercial space assets that are imbedded in, and transit, Earth's space environment. This talk will outline the objectives and capabilities of the RBSP program, and will place the program in some historical context of radiation belt studies over the last five decades.
