Space Plasma Physics Group  Instrumentation

The MSSL Space Plasma Physics Group has provided instrumentation for a large number of space flight missions. These are listed below. We also have developed a world class electron calibration system for 30-20,000 eV electrons, used on Cluster and Doublestar.

• PEACE - Electron sensors on each of China's Double Star (Equator and Polar) satellites

• PEACE - Cluster's Plasma Electron and Current Experiment

• TIMAS - Toroidal Imaging Mass Angle Spectrometer for the POLAR spacecraft

• AREA - Microchannel plate detector system on Pulsaur Rocket

• CID - Cold Ion Detector on board STRV-1a

• LEPA - Low Energy Plasma Analyser on the CRRES spacecraft

• SEM-2 - Electronics and calibration for Meteosat 3 (P2)

• AMPTE UKS - Three-Dimensional Ion Instrument

• Meteosat 2 - spacecraft charging monitors

• GEOS-1 and 2 suprathermal plasma analysers
