Basic Space Science

  • Studies on meteorology and climate (National Institute on Meteorology and Hydrology)
  • Studies on the Earth’s surface towards the tectonic movements (Institute of Geodynamics of the Romanian Academy)
  • Onboard computing system for the PRIRODA remote sensing space experiment, launched and coupled with the MIR space station
  • Space studies conducted by the Astronomical Institute of the Romanian Academy:
    • the Earth-Moon system, planets and small bodies of the Solar system
    • aspects of satellite dynamics in the observation of the upper terrestrial atmosphere
    • observations and correlation with the data acquired by space telescopes
  • Space studies conducted by the Institute for Space Science:
    • onboard mass spectrometers for the study of the atmospheric composition and dynamics
    • study of the Earth’s magnetosphere accomplished by means of satellite data processing and achievement and launch of magnetometers in international cooperation within AKTIVNYI, APEX and INTERBALL space projects
    • contribution to the EQUATOR-S, FAST and CLUSTER magnetometry and space plasma projects of the European Space Agency
    • participation in PLANK and SPOrt European Space Agency projects
  • Participation in the international projects ROSETTA, SOHO, ISO, COBRA/SAMBA, MACRO and KASCADE)
  • Study of solar neutrino oscillations during the Total Solar Eclipse of August 11, 1999 - NOTTE project
  • Satellite dynamics:
    • AKTIVNYI and APEX space missions
    • fluidic accelerometer to be used onboard the satellites (Institute for Space Science)
    • methods of astrometrical interest (Astronomical Institute of the Romanian Academy)
    • theoretical and applied celestial mechanics methods (Aeronautical Department of the "Politehnica" University Bucharest)
    • optimal singular control in space dynamics (Institute of Applied Mathematics and University of Savoie, France)
  • Fundamental physics in space
    • discrete space-time structure and applications of the theory of categories to gravity
    • theoretical researches in general relativity, as spin-offs of the LISA and STEP future missions of the European Space Agency and NASA’s Gravity Probe-B
