'Space radiation and plasma environment monitoring', Noordwijk, the Netherlands
9 May 2012 - 9 May 2012
Netherlands
An event entitled 'Space radiation and plasma environment monitoring' will take place from 9 to 11 May 2012 in Noordwijk, the Netherlands.
The number of flying, or ready-to-fly, European radiation and plasma instruments has increased significantly in the past few years. At the same time, research programmes have made progress in investigating innovative technologies and new concepts designs which allow a substantial reduction of mass, power and data rate budgets compared to traditional instrumentation, while providing equivalent or higher detection efficiency.
With many future space missions taking place in severe radiation environments, there is significant demand for radiation instrumentation. Accurate measurements of the space environment play a crucial role in improvement of radiation environment models and the development of the space weather services.
The event will be a forum for discussing the latest developments in space plasma and radiation environments and effects instrumentation. It will also examine possible flight opportunities and outline the way forward in data analyses, databases, data sharing, and lessons learned from flight experience.For further information, please visit: http://www.congrexprojects.com/12C16(opens in new window)
