1: List of relevant dataset and models including those that are not designed

(a=done) Gather the names of all available dataset and existing analyses software that can potentially be used before the first meeting (Kaguya, Stereo, Cluster, Geotail, Ampte, Akebono, DE, as well as flybys by planetary missions).

(b=done) Identify problems with existing datasets (instrument design including data output format) for analyzing the data.  R

(c=done) Exchange information about analysis methods (including event analyses), and discuss how to share the data.

2: Re-examine the data and model in the view of heavy molecular/metallic ions

(a=done) Extend existing models to the metallic ions (transport) and space debris (ablation)

(b=done) List possible “case study” events for Moon source (Kaguya), mesospheric source (Lidar), and clear events seen in the satellite data (Cluster, e-POP, and ACE).

3. Update the knowledge of heavy molecular/metallic ions in the magnetosphere

(a=done) Gather all results available and synthesize

(b=done) Re-examine the data ad model from the viewpoint of molecular and metallic ions

4. Assessment of human-origin (e.g., space debris) heavy ions and atoms.

(a=done) Evaluate possible contribution from the space debris through different processes = turned out to be yet open question

(b=done) As reference, evaluate Moon-origin contribution in comparison to the solar wind origin = turned out to be significant for metallic ions

5. Recommendation of instrumentation for future measurements.

(a=done) Synthesize each results 1, 2, 3, 4.

(b=done) Identify future observation requirements, including different observation methods, e.g. mass spectrometers, optical lines.

6. Write open-access review
