This project will support activities to organize and hold a Beacon Satellite Symposium at Boston College from August 1 to 5, 2022. This 5-day conference anticipates 120 participants onsite with 100 oral presentations and a poster session. The Beacon Satellite Symposia are the only long-term international symposia dedicated to studies of satellite signals and the radio propagation effects on applications of societal interests. With space weather a global problem, this symposium can enable international collaborations and partnerships among the stakeholders. This symposium will provide exposure for students to worldwide research on their topics of interest. It will also provide rare and unique opportunities for US scientists and students to gain a worldwide perspective on the state of the art of research in ionospheric studies and space weather. A global perspective on these topics can be achieved by engaging scientists and graduate students from all over the world, including developing nations where ionospheric behavior and space weather effects are not well known.This project aims to host an international conference that addresses current topics in ionospheric and space weather research. The technical sessions include studies on Total Electron Content (TEC), ionospheric irregularities and scintillation, monitoring natural hazards from space, polar effects on Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), data assimilation modeling, ionosphere-thermosphere modeling and validation, ionospheric effects on satellite-based navigation systems (such as GNSS), radio occultation studies, space weather, machine learning and new techniques. The Beacon Satellite Symposium is intended to be an in-person meeting. Plans are in place to enable virtual participation. The symposium will host a special issue of Radio Science.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目将支持2022年8月1日至5日在波士顿学院组织和举办信标卫星研讨会的活动。这次为期5天的会议预计将有120名与会者到场，其中包括100次口头报告和一次海报会议。信标卫星专题讨论会是唯一一个致力于研究卫星信号和无线电传播对社会利益应用的影响的长期国际专题讨论会。由于空间天气是一个全球性问题，本次研讨会可以促进利益攸关方之间的国际合作和伙伴关系。本次研讨会将为学生提供机会，让他们接触到他们感兴趣的主题的全球研究。它还将为美国科学家和学生提供难得的独特机会，使他们能够从世界范围内了解电离层研究和空间天气的研究现状。通过吸引来自世界各地的科学家和研究生，包括对电离层行为和空间天气影响不甚了解的发展中国家，可以实现对这些主题的全球视角。该项目旨在举办一个国际会议，讨论电离层和空间天气研究的当前主题。技术会议包括研究总电子含量（TEC）、电离层不规则和闪烁、从空间监测自然灾害、极地对全球导航卫星系统（GNSS）的影响、数据同化建模、电离层-热层建模和验证、电离层对卫星导航系统（如GNSS）的影响、无线电掩星研究、空间天气、机器学习和新技术。信标卫星研讨会旨在成为面对面的会议。计划已经到位，以实现虚拟参与。研讨会将主办一期《无线电科学》特刊。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
