Agnirva Space Premier League - Expedition #31900: Plasma-ISS: Examination of Plasmic Environments on the External Surface of ISS Through the Characterization of Optical Radiance

The Plasma-ISS experiment examines the plasmic environments that form on the external surface of the International Space Station (ISS). Plasma, which is a collection of charged particles, exists throughout the universe, and studying it in space provides valuable insights into the nature of cosmic and solar phenomena.

The experiment focuses on analyzing the optical radiance emitted by these plasma regions on the ISS’s exterior. By measuring the light emitted by plasma, researchers can characterize its behavior and interactions with spacecraft surfaces. This study is important for understanding the conditions that spacecraft and satellites face when traveling through space.

The data gathered from Plasma-ISS is crucial for improving spacecraft design, as it helps scientists understand how plasma affects materials in space. This experiment contributes to the development of technologies that can shield spacecraft from harmful plasma environments, enhancing the safety of astronauts and ensuring the longevity of space equipment.

PLasma-ISS also allows scientists to observe how the space environment interacts with spacecraft at different altitudes and locations in space. The insights gained from this research are invaluable in the field of physical science, as they contribute to our understanding of the fundamental processes in space.
