Experimental & Computational Lab for Impacts, Plasmas & Space Environments
Main content start
The Experimental & Computational Lab for Impacts, Plasmas & Space Environments (formerly Space Environment and Satellite Systems laboratory) in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Stanford University studies a variety of topics related to the space environment. Our current efforts are focused on characterizing the space environment and understanding space environment effects on spacecraft. These topics fall under the Space Situational Awareness (SSA) umbrella that include environmental remote sensing using satellite systems and ground-based radar.
