Leveraging Artificial Intelligence to Enhance the Science Return of 4π Solar Constellations
Constellations have an inherent tension between the scientific benefit of including more satellites and the additional cost that imposes. There are many calls to recommend constellations, particularly to obtain 4π observations of the Sun. AI methods can enhance the science return and forecasting capabilities of these constellations, e.g., via virtualized observatories.
