SmallSat Constellations for Active and Passive Sensing in the Heliosphere

Constellations of spacecraft provide multi-point measurements that are valuable to heliophysics. Small spacecraft enable focused science investigations and are the basis for larger constellation missions at lower cost than traditional architectures. We describe the uniqueness of multi-spacecraft measurements enabled by small, inexpensive spacecraft and present three case study missions.
