Space Plasma Physics
The Space Plasma Physics group at MSSL is a leading, internationally recognised research group studying the physical interaction between the Earth and the Sun and the fundamental physics of space plasmas.ÌýThe group has a history of producingÌýinstrumentationÌýfor, and analysing data from, international space explorationÌýmissionsÌýin collaboration with scientists around the world.
The group is heavily involved in the currentÌýClusterÌýmission and the proposedÌýSolar OrbiterÌýmission. Much of our research involves exploiting data from the Cluster mission, in conjunction with other missions and facilities.ÌýWe also provide operational support and data processing for the Cluster and Double Star missions and theÌýCluster Active Archive. We have a number ofÌýPhD opportunitiesÌýfor students to study some of the many aspects of space plasmas.
