21st SPINE meeting

18 May 2015, 09:00 → 19 May 2015, 20:00 Europe/Paris

Room C (ESA HQ/Mario-Nikis)

This is the 21st meeting of the Spacecraft Plasma Interactions Network in Europe (SPINE).

The objective of SPINE is to share resources and to co-ordinate efforts in all domains related to the interaction of spacecraft with the space plasma, including spacecraft charging. In addition, it acts as an advisory body for the ESA Space Environment and Effects Network of Competences and helps define the future direction of developments sponsored by ESA in this field.

Further details of SPINE and previous SPINE meetings can be found at http://dev.spis.org/projects/spine/home

Please indicate before 1 May 2015 whether you intend to participate and to give the title of a presentation you would like to make or to propose additional discussion topics by sending an email to: Fabrice.Cipriani@esa.int and/or David.Rodgers@esa.int
