Seven Sisters—Pathfinder Mission to Protect Humanity from Space Weather
This white paper summarises the Seven Sisters solar wind (SW) mission concept and engineering report. The mission will collect critical measurements of the thermal and suprathermal plasma, and magnetic fields utilizing Venus-Sun Lagrange (VL) points, to resolve the science enabling eventual operational space weather mission and next generation space weather model development.
