You Get What You Pay for: Scientific Engineering Challenges for Successful Distributed Multi-Satellite Missions in Solar and Heliophysics
Any multi-satellite program will need to address the technical challenges of communication, coordination, calibration, and standardized data access in order to ensure the scientific success of much needed solar-viewing constellation missions in the next decade and beyond. Existing technological advancements must be leveraged for integration into any constellation heliospheric mission.
