POLAR-2 Meeting

→ Asia/Shanghai
Description

This three-part meeting series is organized to coordinate the scientific strategy, operational framework, and technical validation activities for the POLAR-2 mission. The science meeting in Nanning, will focus on the future scientific exploitation of POLAR-2, including the definition of observation priorities, analysis strategies, alerting capabilities, and collaboration policies required to maximize scientific return. The ground segment meeting at IHEP, will address the organization and implementation of ground operations, including data handling, command procedures, and operational responsibilities. At CSU, the meeting will consist of a technical exchange dedicated to validating the communication procedures using the Alinx board. We will also perform mechanical interface and handling tests with the 3D mock model.

Venue:

No.100, East Daxue Road, Xixiangtang District, Nanning, Guangxi, China
Postal Code: 530004

        POLAR-2 science HPD

        I will speak about generalities important for
        polarization measurement and other measurements with POLAR-2 HPD
        I will give a list of possible science and what they require in term
        of instrument, data rate, auxiliary data and manpower.
        This presentation should trigger discussion and introduce some other people presentation.
