Oneliner	A formation flight mission to provide data for space weather spatiotemporal events and interactions; and to provide a geolocation option.
Description	Consisting of three 12U CubeSats in a formation flight, the mission expands on the study of ionospheric plasma movements and density, small-scale ionospheric structures, magnetic field, and radiation environment. On the development of technological solutions, the mission proposes to test a baseline option at LEO to understand the influence of ionospheric phenomena and signal deterioration on geolocation/aviation-related services. While it allows for the development of support technologies closely related to airworthiness and flight safety, the formation flight arrangement is expected to provide novel (temporal) insights on the evolution of ionospheric events.
