The Center for Space Physics (CSP) is a university-based center for research and education in space science and space-related technologies. Faculty, researchers, and students from the Boston University Departments of Astronomy, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering collaborate under a\u00a0common mission to advance our understanding of the atmospheres, magnetospheres, and plasma environments of our solar system.\u00a0The insights gained through these efforts help us understand how habitable environments evolve in the cosmos, in addition to having practical relevance in a society that is increasingly reliant on space-based assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SHIELD NASA DRIVE Center<\/a> is a national and international collaboration involving researchers from over half a dozen institutions, and led by\u00a0Merav Opher<\/a>\u00a0from the\u00a0Astronomy Department<\/a> and Center for Space Physics.<\/p>\n

SHIELD will: (1) determine the global nature of the heliosphere; (2) determine how pickup ions evolve from \u2018cradle to grave\u2019 and affect heliospheric processes; (3) establish how the heliosphere interacts with and influences the LISM; and (4) establish how cosmic rays are filtered by and transported through the heliosphere<\/p>\n\n\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

CSP Turns 30!<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In 2018 of the Center for Space Physics (CSP) at Boston University celebrated its 30th anniversary . Since its inception, the Center has become a world-renowned cornerstone for expertise in heliophysics, Earth\u2019s environment, inner and outer planetary science, and beyond. Over its lifetime, the CSP has been home to a large number of graduate students, postdocs, and researchers. We celebrated with a 2 1\/2 day event in June of 2018.<\/p>\n
