PARAGON mission concept: Seeing the Global Geospace in Mesoscale Resolution
We present the PARAGON mission concept, which utilizes coordinated: i) unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution imaging of the ring current, plasma sheet, aurora, and plasmasphere and ii) in-situ particle and fields measurements, from different platforms, in order to discover, quantify, and understand the global impact of mesoscale processes in the development of geomagnetic disturbances.
