Solar Missions Forum 12th December 2013 13:00-17:00
Organised by Louise Harra (UCL-MSSL) and Richard Harrison (RAL-SPACE)
The purpose of this meeting is to summarise the UK’s current involvement in missions, and future plans. Discussion is very welcome! We have chosen a date next to the RAS meeting on space weather to minimize the amount of travel necessary for people. Please can you let Louise (l.harra @ ucl.ac.uk) know if you plan to attend for coffee numbers.
