The STEREO Solar Terrestrial Probe mission will make measurements important to the LWS community for both science and applications. Similarly, the BU-directed NSF sponsored Center for Integrated Space Weather Modeling (CISM) will produce knowledge and tools highly relevant to LWS goals. IMPACT is one of the STEREO in-situ investigations set to provide multipoint measurements ahead of and trailing the Earth in its orbit. IMPACT measures the interplanetary magnetic field, solar wind and suprathermal electrons, and solar energetic particles at these Earth-bracketing points at increasing separations. CISM solar and heliosphere models now in development can provide complementary 3D ambient solar wind and interplanetary field descriptions, and will ultimately describe coronal transient activity disturbances, for data comparisons and interpretation. In combination with STEREO PLASTIC solar wind ion, SWAVES radio, and SECCHI imaging, as well as SOHO upstream imaging and ACE and WIND L1 data, IMPACT measurements and CISM heliospheric models stand to make a substantial contribution to LWS resources. This presentation summarizes their capabilities and illustrates their promise.
