Lectures
Bringing together top space science students with internationally recognized researchers at Los Alamos in an educational and collaborative atmosphere.
The lecture schedule for the 2020 session will be available in late May 2020.
Students receive lectures from top scientists on a variety of topics including plasma physics, radiation belts, numerical modeling, solar wind physics, spacecraft charging and others.
