ILWS science in Slovakia
Based on individual activities of the Institutes
of Slovak Academy of Sciences, and of the
Universities

• Institute of Experimental Physics, SAS, Koice
• (Department of Space Physics)
• Energetic particles in space (solar,
  interplanetary, magnetospheric processes)
• Cosmic Rays (ground based observations) and space
  weather http//neutronmonitor.ta3.sk
• More at http//space.saske.sk

ILWS science in Slovakia

• Astronomical Institute of SAS, Tatranská Lomnica
• solar outer atmosphere activity using combined
  space-born satellite instruments (SOHO SUMER,
  CDS, EITTRACE, RHESSI, STEREO) and ground-based
  telescopes (DOT/LaPalma, SST/LaPalma,VTT/Tenerife)
  
• Ground based coronographic measurements
• More at http//www.astro.sk/

ILWS science in Slovakia

• Geophysical Institute of SAS, Bratislava
• - Magnetospheric physics
• Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Informatics,
  Comenius University Bratislava
• - cosmogenic nuclides, links of cosmic rays
  to environmental studies

Participation in space missions

• Presently in orbit (in cooperation with other
  laboratories in abroad)
• - Double Star (TC-2), energetic neutral atoms
  NUADU
• Rocket experiment (HotPay2, recently, in
  Norway, energetic electrons)
