Swedish Institute of Space Physics return to Venus on Indian space mission

Swedish Institute of Space Physics return to Venus on Indian space mission

For the second time the Swedish Institute of Space Physics (IRF) will explore Venus. On board the Indian Venus mission Shukrayaan-1, IRF’s satellite instrument Venusian Neutrals Analyzer (VNA) will study how the charged particles from the Sun interact with the atmosphere and exosphere of the planet.  Between 2006-2014 IRF’s instrument ASPERA-4 (Analyzes of Space Plasma…

Noctilucent clouds

A network of automated cameras for NLC studies After several years of testing in Moscow and Novosibirsk (Russia), an international network commenced work in 2004 in Moscow, Novosibirsk and Lund (Sweden) to continuously monitor noctilucent clouds (NLC). This network has been extended for successive years, and at present (in 2020) it includes cameras situated in…
