Space and planetary science: space-borne instrumentation and data analyses

Current Research

Why are planets surrounded by radiation clouds? Why do planetary atmospheres escape? What happened in the ancient times? Where in the solar system are planets born? In order to reach these questions, which are also related to the emergence of the life, we develop space-borne particle instruments.
Keywords: JAXA's Geospace mission ERG(Arase), ESA/JAXA's Comet Interceptor, JAXA's lunar polar exploration
