The purpose of the workshop is to define the science that will be done with SIRA, an interferometric array that will image the Sun, solar eruptions and astrophysical objects at frequencies less than ~15 MHz. Such frequencies cannot be observed through the ionosphere." The array will consist of 16 microsats with dipole antennas in an orbit sufficiently far away to avoid terrestrial radio emission. Formation flying with space-based interferometry at long wavelengths is the the next logical step to image the disturbances in the Sun-Earth connected system. The science to be addressed by SIRA includes (1) Sun-to-Earth imaging of geoeffective coronal mass ejections and shocks, (2) imaging of large-scale structures such as coronal streamers and holes, (3) spectral imaging of radio emission from electron beams that can outline the structure of the inner heliosphere, and (4) imaging galactic and extragalactic radio sources and producing the first full-sky maps at long wavelengths. The array will be able produce daily images, event images and other space weather data products available to various scientific communities. Please note the dates (May 13-14, 2003) and reserve them for this workshop. Please register for the workshop at http://lep694.gsfc.nasa.gov/sira/contents.html as soon as possible.
