The Science Team is distributed across eight funded US institutions (The Aerospace Corporation, Boston University, Dartmouth College, Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), MIT, Southwest Research Institute, University of California Los Angeles, and University of Colorado), one unfunded US Government partner agency (NOAA/SEC) and three unfunded international collaborators (University of Alberta, British Antarctic Survey, and CERT-ONERA).  The Science Team comprises radiation belt community leaders in areas of: instrument design and operation; science data analysis and management; theory and modeling; and space weather/radiation belt applications.
