| Our speaker this month will be Dr Justin Kasper of the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. He specializes in the development of instrumentation for measuring extreme environments from the surface of the sun to the outer solar system and is most interested in exploring the forces driving solar flares and the high energy solar wind continuously streaming away from the sun. He is currently lead investigator for an instrument named SWEAP designed to measure Solar Wind Electrons Alphas and Protons. Tonight Dr. Kasper will talk about this project and the upcoming Solar Probe Plus mission to the sun on which it will be flown. Come and learn about this important and exiting mission that will take a spacecraft into the solar corona.
Please join us for a pre-meeting dinner discussion at Changsho, 1712 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA at 6:00pm before the meeting. |
