The near-Earth region responds powerfully to changes in solar wind drivers. The upcoming Radiation Belt Storm Probes (RBSP) mission of NASA will have the most complete, comprehensive payload ever devised to study radiation belt particle populations and the plasma waves that accelerate and transport those particles. In this presentation we describe briefly the RBSP instrument suite and we relate this to the key outstanding questions of inner magnetospheric physics. We also show how these extant issues relate to pressing problems of space weather that threaten human technological systems. We conclude with a vision of how present knowledge and near-term programs of radiation belt research can be used as a springboard to help mitigate future socioeconomic losses associated with detrimental space weather episodes.
