Project: Monitoring, Analyzing and Assessing Radiation Belt Loss and Energization

The MAARBLE (Monitoring, Analyzing and Assessing Radiation Belt Loss and Energization) project has two focussed and synergistic aims: to advance scientific research on radiation belt dynamics; and to enhance data exploitation of European space missions through combined use of European and US spacecraft measurements and ground-based observations. Understanding the radiation belt environment has important practical applications in the areas of spacecraft operations, spacecraft-system design, mission planning and astronaut safety. Therefore MAARBLE will bear results beneficial to both robotic space exploration and manned spaceflight.
