Swedish Institute of Space Physics is looking for a post-doctoral position, placed in Lund, in space weather, focusing on detecting and characterizing coronal mass ejections. Space weather impacts technology through physical processes originating from the Sun and its interaction with the Earth’s magnetosphere and ionosphere. The effects on technology are well-known and may influence the…

Swedish Institute of Space Physics (IRF) is seeking a highly motivated individual to join the Extreme Plasma Flares project, a collaboration between Chalmers, Gothenburg, IRF, Uppsala, and the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Stockholm. Plasma flares – explosive releases of magnetic energy – play a central role in such diverse phenomena as solar flares, aurora,…
At 19:23 local time on March 23, a sounding rocket with a scientific experiment from the Swedish Institute of Space Physics (IRF) in Kiruna was launched from Esrange Space Center. Thanks to collected data, IRF’s space scientists can study conditions in near-Earth space, the ionosphere. The information contributes to a piece of the puzzle in…
Sunday’s scheduled launch of the Swedish Institute of Space Physics’ (IRF’s) BROR scientific experiment from the Esrange space base outside Kiruna was canceled just before the sounding rocket was due to take off due to wind conditions. New attempt on Monday, March 13. Auroral scientist at IRF in Kiruna gets help from SSC Esrange in…
