Dear Colleagues and Friends of the Spacecraft Plasma Interaction Network in Europe !
We are happy to announce that the 31th SPINE workshop, co-organised by CNES, ONERA and ESA, will take place from October 16th 13:00 until October 18th 13:00 at CNES Toulouse, France.
Registration to the workshop and call for contributions (see indico website below) will open on Friday 31st May, and run until Friday September 27th, 18:00 CEST- please note that there will be no extension possible.
The SPINE workshop is a European forum addressing all topics related to spacecraft plasma interactions.
This year, the workshop will fit within the COMET-CNES Atmospheric and Space Environment community (https://www.comet-cnes.fr/en/env). We therefore encourage contributions in the following areas:
- Platform effects on Plasma measurements onboard Scientific missions (JUICE, Bepi Colombo, Solar Orbiter, etc…)
- Dust charging effects and interactions with systems in the context of lunar exploration and e.g. Deep Space Gateway
- Electrical propulsion and plumes interaction with spacecraft, modelling and experiments, flight data analysis
- High Performance computing and application to numerical codes for spacecraft - plasma interactions
Evolution of Internal Charging analyses and models, real time approaches
As usual the forum is fully open and contributions addressing the full range of topics (see below a non-exhaustive complementary list) are welcome!
- Evolution of surface and internal charging environments and standards
- Material properties (measurements, new materials, etc ..)
- Ground and space based experiments for surface and internal charging
- Electric propulsion driven plasma environments, electrical orbit raising
- Innovative numerical methods and approaches for surface and internal charging applications
- Charging of Cubesats, Nanosats, effects on (miniaturised) instrumentation
- Plasma (instrumentation and spacecraft electrostatic cleanliness)
- High power radiofrequency effects such Multipactor and Corona.
- Simulation tools performances, current and future developments, interoperability between tools
Feel also free to contact us if you want to propose a session or discussion topic not listed above!
