RBSPICE Science Talks
In preparation for launch of the Van Allen Probes, the RBSPICE Science Team met regularly to gain a better understanding of the current state of knowledge about Earth's magnetosphere and the ring current. Below is a series of presentations by our scientists on this subject, used in conjunction with those meetings.
