RPW Operation Board team

The RPW Operations Board (ROB) meets every month in order to rule on the instrument science operation activities.
Especially, ROB decides on the next instrument configurations to be tuned on-board, in compliance with the science planning defined at mission level by the SOWG and taking account of the discussions inside the RPW consortium.
RPW science performance and resulting data quality are also discussed.

ROB main members:

  • Stuart D. Bale (SSL - UC Berkeley): RPW Lead CoI & SPP-FIELDS PI
  • Diane Bérard (LIRA): ROC Deputy project manager & RPW operations engineer
  • Xavier Bonnin (LIRA): ROC Project Manager & RPW data processing engineer
  • Thomas Chust (LPP): LFR Lead CoI
  • Yuri Khotyaintsev (IRFU): Bias Lead CoI
  • Matthieu Kretzschmar (LPC2E): SCM Lead CoI
  • Milan Maksimovic (LIRA): RPW PI & TNR-HFR Lead CoI
  • Desi Raulin (CNES): Solar Orbiter French project manager at CNES
  • Jan Soucek (IAP): RPW instrument scientist & TDS Lead CoI
  • Antonio Vecchio (RRL / LIRA): TNR-HFR Deputy Lead CoI
