Workshop on Operationalizing POD-Derived Thermospheric Density

Workshop attendees group in front of NCAR Mesa Laboratory

Held October 1-2, 2024  
NSF NCAR Mesa Lab
Boulder, Colorado

With more than 9,000 satellites operating in space and plans from both the commercial and government sectors to continue to launch an ever-increasing number of satellites into low Earth orbit, an improved characterization, modeling and forecasting of the near Earth environment is essential for efficient and safe space operations.

This workshop will focus on the different processes around the workflow, including but not limited to:

Precise orbit determination, satellite aerodynamic modeling, as well as validation and verification of thermospheric density products
How to integrate this evolving research topic into operational activities
