ESS Research Group - Space
Space physics and chemistry from ionized space plasmas to neutral planetary atmospheres are studied theoretically, and with in-situ space probes on balloons, rockets and satellites, and by remote sensing from the ground. Major subdisciplines include Ionosphere/magnetosphere, Upper atmosphere and aeronomy, In-space Propulsion, and Comets and Planets.
