The concept of this workshop complements current heliophysics investigations. A flotilla of small instruments will augment the measurements of current and planned missions. The three dimensional structure of solar wind turbulence, coronal mass ejections (CME) and magnetic clouds can only be understood with concurrent, multipoint measurements. Rapid advancements in CubeSat technology and the NASA OCT funding of Interplanetary CubeSats has opened the possibility of developing a flotilla.
