The project benefits from several close collaborators:
DR. CHRISTIAN MAZELLE is an expert in the environments of unmagnetised planets and comets, as well as collisionless bow shocks, and is Co-I on MAVEN’s SWEA and SWIA instruments. He works at the Institut de Recherche en Astrophysique et Planétologie (IRAP), Toulouse, France.
DR. YOSHIFUMI FUTAANA is Principal Investigator of ASPERA-4 on Venus Express and a specialist of the space environments of Mars and Venus. He works at the Swedish Institute of Space Physics (IRF), Kiruna, Sweden.
DR. CÉSAR BERTUCCI is an expert in the environments of unmagnetised and weakly magnetised solar system objects. He works at the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), Argentina.
DR. MARCUS FRÄNZ is an expert in the interaction between the Sun and the planets and particle instruments. He works at Max-Planck-Institut für Sonnensystemforschung (MPI), Göttingen, Germany.
Planned visits to these collaborating institutes were unfortunately not possible in the course of the project due to ongoing COVID-19 pandemic restrictions and safety precautions.
