  • Receiving updates about innovative satellite systems and exciting new applications.
  • Networking and engaging with critical stakeholders and get feedback from them on their changing needs. 
  • Offering/receiving feedback on the road to application-ready science for societal benefit and decision-making.  

Context: In 2020 thematic workshops were held to determine user needs and develop requirements for a new instruments planned for deployment on the next generation of geostationary satellites, GeoXO. LEO, the low earth orbiting constellation is also planning to launch new weather satellites in the coming years and when combined with GeoXO will provide the most comprehensive look at weather phenomenon ever available from space.
