Stanislav Barabash

Biography & lecture abstracts

Stanislav Barabash was born in Volgograd, Russia (1964). He received his M. Sc. in experimental physics at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (1987), and his PhD in space plasma physics at the Swedish Institute of Space Physics (IRF), Kiruna, Sweden, and the Umeå University, Umeå, Sweden (1996). He has worked at the IRF since 1991, and is now its deputy director (2005) and head of solar system physics and space technology program. He is also professor (2002) and member of the Royal Academy of Science (2009). He is currently principal investigator for plasma packages on ESA's Mars Express and Venus Express missions and the Indian lunar Chandrayaan-1 mission, for ion sensors on Russia/China Phobos-Grunt mission, and co-principal investigator for ion mass analyser and energetic neutral atom sensor for ESA's BepiColombo mission to Mercury. He was principal investigator or coinvestigator for various ion, electron, and energetic neutral atom instruments on missions such as Phobos-2 (Mars), Mars-96 (Mars), Interball (Earth's magnatosphere), Munin (Swedish microsat), Astrid (Earth's magnatosphere), Double Star (Earth's magnatosphere), PRISMA (Swedish technology demostrator), MEAP (stratospheric balloon). He is author or co-author of about 200 publications in the field of space plasma physics. His primary research interests include environment and solar wind interactions with solar system bodies and space instrumentation.

Lecture Instrumentation-1: Instrumentation for space plasma measurements
The main principles for measuring particles (ion, electron and energetic neutrals) and fields (magnetic and electric) on space missions will be described. The focus will be given to instrumentation relevant to studies of the solar wind – planets interactions.

Lecture Instrumentation-2: Development of space instrumentation
The different phases in the development of scientific instruments will be described, starting from the idea, through the assessment study and design (phases A and B), implementation (phase C), and the launch. We will also include a description of the verification, qualification, and test programs and the typical management structure to manage medium and small size space instrument projects.

Lecture Instrumentation-3: Planetary landers
We will review the history of planetary landers, and introduce the basic system design principles and main ideas on entry, descent, and landing systems. We will also describe typical scientific payloads and give a number of examples of successful landers without surface mobility. To demonstrate the different approaches we will also show examples of landing systems such as penetrators, impact probes, and landers on low gravity bodies.

Lecture Instrumentation-4: The Phobos-Grunt mission
The Phobos-Grunt mission is a Russian Phobos sample return mission scheduled for launch in November 2011. The mission will also carry the Chinese micro-satellite Yinghuo-1, which separates right after the Phobos-Grunt martian orbit insertion. Apart from Yinghou-1 and an adapter, the Phobos-Grunt mission includes the following components: a cruise propulsion system, transfer module and lander, return module, and return capsule. The main scientific objective of the mission is the return of around 10 g of the Phobos regolith, in-situ studies of the Phobos regolith and surface, as well as studies of the martian environment (solar wind interactions) and monitoring of the martian atmosphere. We will review the mission, its science, scientific payloads, history and current status.
