Institute of Space Science - ISS (ROMANIA)

The main strategy of the ISS is to expand Romanian participation in the worldwide efforts for the peaceful investigation and development of the cosmic space, including applications to improve the quality of life on our planet. We also consider it our mission to preserve and further develop Romanian space capabilities and expertise in order to be able to conduct leading-edge fundamental scientific research. To implement these goals, the ISS has set very specific scientific and development strategic objectives. Among the scientific objectives are: Satellite/ground investigations and modelling of solar system plasmas. Participation to ESC scientific missions (e.g. PLANCK, EUCLID, JUICE, LISA, etc). Participation in UHE astrophysical experiments (e.g. ANTARES, KM3NeT, DWARF, Pierre Auger Observatory). Search for exotic particles and phenomena in cosmic rays and accelerator/collider experiments (e.g. ALICE-CERN, ILC). Theoretical research of complex structures and processes in astroph...
