EOS Space Science Center

The The Space Science Center fosters research and graduate education in all of the Space Sciences with studies ranging from the ionosphere to the Earth's magnetosphere, the local solar system, and out to the farthest reaches of the universe.

Investigations of the Earth's environment in the solar system utilize space as a laboratory for plasma physics. We conduct theoretical and satellite investigationsof the solar-terrestrial radiation environment. High energy astrophysics investigations involve the sensing of energetic astrophysical objects with ground, balloon, and satellite detectors.

Satellites from previous missions are still providing data for ongoing analysis. Upcoming missions for which EOS is building instruments are: STEREO (launched 2006), IBEX (launch date 2008), GOES-R (launch date 2012), and MMS (launch date 2014). The Space Science center is also a Center of Excellence in theoretical Solar-terrestrial research.

Faculty and students are members of the Department of Physics, with a graduate degree program specializing in Space Physics/Astrophysics.
