SH41A:
Novel Measurement Techniques for Space Plasma in Heliophysics and Planetary Science I


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 61208

Session Description:
This session focuses on novel techniques for measuring and characterizing space plasma that enable new areas of science. Space plasma sciences have been advanced rapidly by emerging technologies throughout the space era, and recent technological advances provide low-cost, low-power, light-weight, high-resolution, high-cadence, high-accuracy, and wide-dynamic range solutions which can enhance the technical capabilities for the scientific closure of next generation missions in this area. The observation targets can include any types of space plasma relating to Sun, Earth, planets and bodies, interplanetary space, and interstellar media. Abstracts are solicited that investigate and develop instruments or supporting technologies for in-situ and remote sensing studies of particles and fields. A clear focus on the instrument technique is highly appreciated for abstracts in this session rather than a general description of missions. However, enabling technologies for a novel mission concept will be welcomed if the abstract focuses on the technology side.
