Workshop on Operationalizing POD-Derived Thermospheric Density
The Mesa Laboratory of the National Center for Atmospheric Research, located atop Table Mesa in Boulder, Colorado, is recognized as one of the major works of architect I.M. Pei. Completed in 1966, the laboratory strikes many viewers as futuristic, but its design was strongly influenced by the ancient Indian cliff dwellings of Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado. With walls of reinforced concrete colored by locally quarried stone, the building harmonizes rather than competes with its dramatic backdrop, the monolithic sandstone slabs called the Flatirons. The laboratory's pristine mesa-top setting is maintained as a nature preserve.

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
