The LWS Science element in 2023 ROSES has been released. The Living With a Star (LWS) Program emphasizes the science necessary to understand those aspects of the coupled Sun-Earth system that affect life and society. The overarching goal of the LWS Program is to provide advances in scientific understanding of this system that can lead to predictive capability of the space environment conditions at Earth, other planetary systems, and in the interplanetary medium. Every year the LWS Science program element solicits Focused Science Topics (FSTs) that address some part of this goal. To be responsive to this program element this year, proposed investigations must have objectives suitable for one of the three Focused Science Topics (FSTs) listed below:

  • FST 1: Understanding Ionospheric Conductivity and its Variability;
  • FST 2: Synergistic View of the Global Magnetosphere;
  • FST 3: Evolution of Coronal Mass Ejections in the Corona and Inner Heliosphere.

Step-1 proposals are due August 15, 2023).

Step-2 proposals are due November 7, 2023.
