Scientists from across the geospace domain participated Exploring the Geospace Frontier: Quo Vadis workshop sponsored by NSF.  The main goal was to identify mechanisms for advancing space weather observations and prediction capabilities. The collective of nearly 100 space scientists reached a consensus that now is the time to invest in infrastructure and observational facilities to meet the societal need and scientific challenges posed by Space Weather. Workshop presenters outlined numerous observing strategies and platform concepts, each with the potential to transform space weather forecast capability in one or another domain. All considered it imperative to develop a conceptual community-wide NSF Major Research Equipment Facilities Construction (MREFC) proposal to bring these platform concepts together into an end-to-end (dedicated) space weather research facility. To develop this plan further, it was determined that we must, as a community-leading group, invest time to evaluate, prioritize, and scope the components of such a cross-cutting initiative.
