The LWS Science element in 2024 ROSES has been released. 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. This year’s FSTs are:

  • FST 1: Connecting Auroral Phenomena with Magnetospheric Phenomena;
  • FST 2: Understanding Solar Energetic Particle Transport through the Inner Heliosphere;
  • FST 3: Atmospheric Loss and Habitability in the Presence of a Star.

Step-1 Proposals are required by August 13, 2024.

Step-2 Proposals are due November 6, 2024.
