IRF in space The Swedish Institute of Space Physics has a long and successful history of providing instruments and services for space research projects. On this page, we provide an overview of all projects from the year 1968 to 2023 where IRF participates or has participated through scientific instruments, parts, construction services or software.
IRF and education IRF contributes with unique competence to undergraduate and postgraduate education in Sweden. Researchers and engineers from IRF contribute to space engineering courses in Kiruna and space physics courses in Uppsala. Kiruna IRF in Kiruna contributes to the undergraduate education at the Kiruna Space Campus in collaboration with the Division of Space Engineering at…
Kiruna Atmospheric and Geophysical Observatory (KAGO) The main purpose of IRF’s observatory (Kiruna Atmospheric and Geophysical Observatory) activities is to provide society with long, unbroken time series (on time scales of 50-100 years) of measurement data from the ionosphere and the Earth’s magnetic field. The purpose of recording this data is to increase our understanding of possible…
Space Plasma Physics research programme The Space Plasma Physics research programme performs measurements of space plasma with instruments on board spacecraft and on the ground. Our specialty is measurements of electric fields and plasma density in space. We also measure wave movements in these fields and this density. The goal of the programme is to…
