Living With a Star: Targeted Research and Technology Program

Understanding space weather and making progress on problems such as predicting geomagnetic storms pose two major challenges for the research community. First, research must couple traditionally separate disciplines in NASA’s Heliophysics division (such as solar-heliospheric and geospace physics). Second, to be truly successful, research must also demonstrate how results would enable an operational capability, such as the generation of forecasts for geomagnetic storms. In order to meet these challenges, NASA has designed an innovative new program, Targeted Research and Technology (TR&T; http://lws-trt.gsfc.nasa.gov/). TR&T is part of NASA’s Living With a Star (LWS; http://lws.gsfc.nasa.gov/) program. LWS is a space weather–focused and applications-driven research program whose goal is to develop the scientific understanding necessary to address effectively those aspects of the connected Sun-Earth system as well as the Sun-planet system that may affect life and society. It is implemented by a sequence of interrelated science missions, Space Environment Testbed (SET), and TR&T. As illustrated in Figure 1, the purpose of the TR&T is to integrate the findings of the LWS missions and other missions and research programs and derive new science understanding that will lead to improved capabilities in space weather and climate change mitigation. The TR&T has three major components: to build infrastructure, to develop strategic capabilities, and to address scientific needs.
