mitigate, respond to, and recover from space weather phenomena; 
enabling the coordination and facilitation of research to operations 
and operations to research, as described in section 60604(d) of title 
51, United States Code; and developing and implementing the integrated 
strategy under 51 U.S.C. 60601(c), including subsequent updates and

the needs of users of space weather products to identify the space 
weather research, observations, forecasting, prediction, and modeling 
advances required to improve space weather products, as required by 51 
U.S.C. 60601(d)(3).
