Developing the scientific understanding necessary to effectively address those aspects of the Connected Sun-Earth system that directly affect life and society is an important and challenging goal for the scientific community in general, and the Living With a Star (LWS) program in particular. While the Far Ultraviolet (FUV) sensors flown on satellites have made tremendous contributions to our understanding of the Earth's Space Weather, the spatial and spectral resolution of the sensors used have limited the usefulness of these observations although they have suggested the tremendous potential of global remote sensing of the Earth's upper atmosphere. Recent advances in instrument designs and fabrication techniques now allow us to overcome many of the limitations of previous FUV sensors. It is now feasible to build an FUV imager capable of providing vital measurements for understanding neutral composition, ionospheric conductivities, and electron density variations on a global scale. Combined with recent advances in modeling and analyzing FUV observations, these new measurements can be used to determine the effects of long and short term variability of the Sun on the global-scale behavior of the ionospheric electron density. These observations are especially important for understanding how the mid and low-latitude Ionosphere-Thermosphere system responds to geomagnetic storms. They are especially important for providing at least a limited context and connection between the Solar and radiation belt measurements that will come from the LWS program.
