Critical Solar Wind Measurements Required For the Next Generation Space Weather Prediction Mission: Science Motivation for the Seven Sisters Mission

This paper motivates new multi-point, multi-scale, critical measurements in the solar wind (SW) that are required to improve our fundamental understanding of the 3-D, large to intermediate-scale structures and processes in the SW; their azimuthal variation, radial evolution; and impact on particle acceleration, heating, and transport, thus motivating the Seven Sisters mission concept.
