In their new study, the BARREL researchers» major objective was to obtain simultaneous measurements of the scattered particles and of ionoized gas called plasma out in space near Earth's equator.

Since the experiment fires protons at boron plasma, it effectively mimics cosmic rays crashing into plasmas in space, which may aid studies of high - energy particle behaviour, says Mac Low.

The study has implications for the understanding of magnetic nozzle plasma thrusters used to propel spacecraft in space, since the energy conversion is the essential process to determine the thruster performance.

The study of planetary atmospheres other than the Earth's, and in particular the study of the role of plasma - neutral interactions in their evolution, could contribute to our understanding of the long - term space weather (referred to also as space climate) effects and finally the origins of life itself (Yamauchi & Wahlund 2007).

Since the Hermean magnetosphere occupies a unique position in the space plasma physics scenarios, the study of Mercury's magnetospheric processes will not only provide a clear picture of the planetary magnetosphere itself but it will also broaden our field of view of space plasma physics, in general.

He is widely considered to be a founding father of hybrid simulations of space plasmas, and his codes are among the most widely used and emulated tools for the study of intermediate scale dynamics in these media.

It is difficult for the standard numerical algorithms currently adopted by the plasma physics community to meet the long - term accuracy and fidelity requirement in large - scale numerical studies of multi-scale, complex dynamics of plasmas in space and laboratory.

The scope of COSPAR comprises space studies of the Earth's surface, meteorology and climate; space studies of the Earth - Moon system and other bodies of the solar system, including the search for evidence of life in the solar system; study of planetary atmospheres including those of the ever - expanding inventory of exoplanets; space plasmas in the solar system; research in astrophysics from space; life sciences as related to space; materials sciences in space; and fundamental physics in space.
