Mankind's ability to predict weather on earth has been greatly enhanced by new instrumentation technology. Similarly, mankind's ability to predict space weather benefits from new technologies. Just as increasing the amount of atmospheric measurements on earth heightened mankind's ability to predict Earth weather, many scientists expect that expanding the amount of plasma measurements in space could be key to enhancing mankind's ability to predict space weather. Small satellites are one of these new technologies that have the potential to greatly enhance our ability to predict space weather. Utilizing many low-cost small satellites allows scientists to take data from more locations …
