abstract = "The Scintillation Prediction Observations Research Task (SPORT) is
a 6U CubeSat mission to advance the scientific understanding of
the preconditions leading to equatorial plasma bubbles. The
scientific literature describes these preconditions in both the
ionospheric drifts and the density profiles related to bubbles
forming several hours later in the evening. SPORT was placed on
orbit from the ISS, at 400 km, on December 29, 2022, and is
expected to collect data for 9 months before reentering. SPORT is
an international partnership between Brazil and the United States.
This talk will present an overview of the SPORT mission,
instruments, and the data repository available to the scientific
community. SPORT collected data in the 17:00 to 2:00 local time
periods capturing multiple examples of equatorial plasma bubbles
at various altitudes over the spacecraft lifetime. The data set
consists of electron density, temperature, plasma drifts, magnetic
fields, and GPS radio occultations within the low latitude
ionosphere. We present an overview of the behavior of 100 m to1 km
scale size structures within equatorial plasma bubbles observed by
SPORT.",
