LuPIN (2)
The registration deadline is on June 30, 2024. Registration is closed.
Note: Registration will close as soon as the available places are filled.
Objective
Recent years, almost all space agencies are active in preparing lunar exploration. However, the science of Moon-environment interaction, particularly complex but fascinating coupling between the solar wind/magnetospheric plasma-energetic particles-exosphere-dust-solid surface-mini-magnetosphere, has been under-represented. With this situation behind us, we at Swedish Institute of Space Physics organize a weekly workshop on 23-27 September 2024 in Storforsen, Norrbotten, Sweden, by the biggest unregulated rapids in Europe, to discuss the science of the space environment on the Moon.
What is LuPIN
LuPIN is an abbreaviation of Lunar Plasma Interdisciplinary Network. See the aim of LuPIN.
