Heliophysics and Space Weather Science at ~1.5 AU: Knowledge Gaps and Need for Solar and Solar Wind Monitors at Mars

Discussion of knowledge gaps & open questions about the solar-interplanetary drivers of the space weather at Mars during active/quiescent solar periods, and the need for continuous, routine observations to address them. For advancing science & strategic planning for human exploration at Mars by the 2030s, now is the time to consider a network of upstream solar and solar wind monitors at Mars.
