Awarded
The Space Plasma Physics Group was joined over
the summer by Andy May (University of
Manchester) and Stephen Fuge (University of
Southampton). Andy worked with Colin Forsyth
and Dhiren Kataria to develop an attitude control
system for QB50. The project was funded by the
RAS through a Nuffield Undergraduate Bursary.
Stephen worked with Jonny Rae on a project to
investigate the feasibility of a new space weather
mission concept. The work by these students has
fed directly into active projects at MSSL.



On 13 August David Willetts, the Minister for
Universities and Science, visited MSSL. This was a
unique opportunity for us to show the Minister what
we do and how our hard work, ethos and
engagement with industry has led to MSSL's preeminence and impressive growth of 20% over the
last three years.

The UCL Academy visited on 29 and 30 August.
They spent a couple of "away days" at MSSL with
their new intake of teaching staff.

place during the week of the 9 September with
many international experts attending.

Tragni, a member of the new SWA DPU consortium
on 12 September. Useful discussions on the
required performance of the DPU were held.
Peter Gallagher from Trinity College, Dublin,
visited and gave a seminar on The Shocking
Corona.
Naoto Nishisuka visited from ISAS, Japan.
Promotions

Congratulations to Lidia Van Driel-Gesztelyi who
has been promoted to Professor and Michael Emes
who has been promoted to Principal Research
Associate.

Proposal entitled “Creating a virtual intensive
care system - to enable data mining as a
treatment aid”, submitted to Wellcome Trust Louise Harra;
Proposal to renew the post-launch support for
Hinode submitted to UKSA in the middle ot
September - Louise Harra/Khalid Al-Janabi/John
Rainnie;
Proposal for PROBA2/SWAP Guest Investigator
- Deb Baker;
A joint Solar (Green, Long) and Plasma (Rae)
Group proposal was submitted to the US Air
Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR)
entitled "Formation and evolution of coronal
mass ejections". This work entailed developing
a capability to forecast the magnetic
configuration of CMEs and arrival time at L1 by
the modeling of the erupting flux rope and
developing an empirical model of the evolution
of the CME through the heliosphere using
remote sensing techniques. The results will be
verified by in situ observations at L1, and will
provide an excellent platform for Solar Orbiter
work in the upcoming years;
A NERC New Investigator Grant was submitted
by Jonny Rae, in collaboration with colleagues
at BAS (Freeman) and the University of
Southampton (Jackman), entitled " Determining
and understanding substorm energy loss and
partitioning". This project seeks to understand
how variable the substorm process is, and how
the stored magnetic energy in the magnetotail
is partitioned between the upper atmosphere
and other sinks, in order to better understand
and model the substorm process.
Since we were unfamiliar with this consortium, who
in turn have no previous involvement with Solar
Orbiter or charged particle instruments, the summer
period has required significant effort from MSSL
staff, which will likely continue for some time yet, in
bringing them up to speed. An immediate
consequence is the postponement of the SWA
CDR, which had been scheduled for
October/November to a TBD date probably in April
next year.
Mission Status and Developments
Cassini - is in its extended extended (Solstice)
mission phase. The CAPS instrument (including
ELS) was off during the reporting period. The
operations funding will cease in December 2013.
Scientific analysis continued apace (see
publications and presentations).
On less problematic grounds, MSSL has supported
the latest in the regular series of EMC WG
meetings, formally reported progress to UKSA
through the SO Project Management Board, and
attended a meeting with the PI’s of the NASA Solar
Probe Plus mission to ensure that the two missions
are able to make coordinated measurements.
Several members of MSSL also participated in a
“Risk Reduction Workshop” with a group from
Astrium UK, comprised largely of individuals from
outside of the ASUK SO project team. Ideas were
exchanged on how working practices and
communications might be improved on future
missions. Chris Owen represented the SWA team
at the 13th SO SWT in Brussels in late September.
Finally, we were able to show off the structural
thermal model of SWA EAS, which has been
assembled at the lab, to David Willets during his
visit.
Cluster - The Cluster Auroral Acceleration Region
Campaign continued with an optimised
constellation through to mid July, after which the
constellation was modified for the Inner
Magnetosphere Campaign. The modified
constellation remained moderately useful for small
scale auroral observations until the next change in
October.
During June work continued to explore the
anomalous behavior of Cluster 3 PEACE DPU
when operating in dual processor mode and to
demonstrate that operation in single processor
mode is effective, followed by a transition to routine
operations in single processor mode.
Cluster Active Archive Operations Review 05-06
June; attended by Natasha Doss and Andrew
Fazakerley; Natasha delivered the PEACE
presentation.
LKH -Solar Orbiter EUI is under preparation for the
instrument Critical Design Review that will begin in
mid-October.
A meeting of the ISSI Team on analysis of Cluster
Auroral Data led by Colin Forsyth was held on 8-12
July; Colin Forsyth and Andrew Fazakerley
participated.
Venus Express and Mars Express - ASPERA
continues to operate on both spacecraft and we
are involved in scientific papers (see lists).
ExoMars - Regular telecons with ESA and TAS-I
and within the team are continuing. Progress
continues on preparing for delta-PDR due in
Autumn 2013.
Publications – Refereed
Published

Hinode - EIS is observing with the recently
launched NASA IRIS mission during their “first
science phase”.
JUICE - Involvement with PEP team continues.

Solar Orbiter - Solar Orbiter SWA activity has been
dominated by the responses necessary from the
MSSL PI team in light of decisions by the Italian
Space Agency to impose a major change of
direction in the industrial procurement process for
the SWA DPU. The team with which we have
worked for many years, dating back to preproposal, were not funded for the build phase of the
DPU, with a new team, led by TSD Space, being
funded instead.

The winners of the 2013 MSSL Croquet
Tournament were “Hoopless Beginners”. Kevin
Benson and Chris Dolding (with team mate
Howard Huckle cheering from the stands). They
beat Tom Kitching and Jason McEwen from
Mullard Cosmology Croquet: MC2 14-7.
Thanks go to Neville Shane who has organized the
tournament over the last few years.
The annual cricket match was held on 4
September. Congratulations to the "MSSL 37 and
Under Team" who won a close match by 3 wickets
over the "MSSL Over 37s Team".
Highlights of the game were a hat-trick (3 wickets
in successive balls) by Jake Duhigg (summer
student in climate extremes), and an unbroken 7th
wicket partnership of 45 runs between Matt Hills
and Ben Taylor which saw the "MSSL 37 and
Under Team" over the line. Matt Whillock's allround performance stood out for the "MSSL Over
37s Team".
