Earth’s Magnetosphere

Indian Institute of Geomagnetism, an autonomous institution of the Department of Science and Technology has developed a simulation code capable of studying electric field structures in earth’s magnetosphere.

Significance

• It will help advance the knowledge of plasma waves that are useful in planning future space missions.
• It can also lead to precisely controlled fusion laboratory experiments for energy needs of humanity. Controlled fusions use magnetic fields to confine a high-temperature plasma of deuterium and tritium.
• To better understand its role in our space environment. It will unravel the fundamental physics of space, which is dominated by complex electromagnetic interactions unlike what ....
