Laboratorul 1040 – Plasmă Spațială și Magnetometrie (GPSM)

About the laboratory

Space Plasma and Magnetometry Group (GPSM) of the Institute of Space Science INFLPR Subsidiary, Magurele, was born in the first half of the 1990s. Several Romanian magnetometers flown in space, first within the Intercosmos program, and then in the frame of the Interball mission, acquired a substantial data volume, useful both for navigation and for science. The initial target of GPSM was the processing and interpretation of the magnetic field data measured in-situ by the Romanian instruments. The GPSM scientific activity has gradually expanded. The group is now active in various fields of space plasma research, in particular the physics of the magnetosphere and its coupling with solar wind and ionosphere. We contribute to the analysis of data measured by Cluster and FAST missions and develop projects that focus on theoretical and numerical modeling of space plasma.
