The Plasma Observatory is a multi-spacecraft mission proposal to study the coupling of fluid and ion scales within astrophysical plasmas in near-Earth space, advancing the knowledge of particle energisation and energy transfer. It was recently selected for further study for ESA’s M7 mission opportunity.
Cecilia Norgren from SPPG is a member of the Plasma Observatory science team. She looks forward to the continued work with the proposal and the great opportunity this presents for the space science and plasma community.
