We intend to hold a meeting of the Spacecraft Plasma Interaction Network in Europe (SPINE) on 17 March 2014 at ESA HQ (Paris, France). This will be a venue to discuss new research and technology roadmaps in the area of spacecraft plasma interactions and to present new scientific results. Preliminary agenda: 20th SPINE Meeting17 March…

You are cordially invited to attend the 19th SPINE meeting and the final presentations of three ESA TRP funded activities, developed with the SPIS (Spacecraft Plasma Interaction System) software, followed by training on the SPIS-GEO and AISEPS applications. Location and date: All events will be held at ESTEC, Noordwijk the Netherlands from Tuesday 19 March…

The 12th Spacecraft Charging Technology Conference will be held at the Kitakyushu International Conference Center in Kitakyushu (Japan) from 14 to 18 May, 2012.

The 18th SPINE Meeting will take place on 7 March at ESA/ESTEC Noordwijk. The Netherlands. One or two SPIS training sessions will be organised the same week. The first session will take place on 5-6 March. Depending on the number of expressions of interest received a second session may be organised on 8-9 March. To…

15th SPINE Meeting on the 28th and 29th of September 2009 at ONERA, Toulouse, France. Presentations Purpose Particular themes are: SPIS developments and validation Plasma instruments and in-flight demonstrations. Background There are, in various stages of execution and planning, various studies that use and update the SPIS simulation software. This is extending the capability of…

14th SPINE Meeting to prepare modelling capabilities in support of plasma instruments for Cosmic Vision Access to presentations Background: Spacecraft plasma interactions (especially spacecraft charging and contamination by secondary particles) can strongly perturb plasma and particle measurements in space. Therefore, modelling these interaction is important for optimising the design of plasma instruments and their location…
