  Advances in space weather science and small satellite (SmallSat) technology
have proceeded in parallel over the past two decades, but better communication
and coordination is needed among the respective worldwide communities
contributing to this rapid progress. We identify six areas where improved
international coordination is especially desirable, including: (1) orbital
debris mitigation; (2) spectrum management; (3) export control regulations; (4)
access to timely and low-cost launch opportunities; (5) inclusive data
policies; and (6) education. We argue the need for internationally coordinated
policies and programs to promote the use of SmallSats for space weather
research and forecasting while realizing maximum scientific and technical
advances through the integration of these two increasingly important endeavors.
