![]() He also verees the Electron Loss and Fields Investigation CubeSat ( ELFIN), funded by NASA and NSF. He is currently working on storms and substorms at Earth while incorporating new data from the Moon's plasma environment, as part of the ARTEMIS mission. ![]() He has been the Principal Investigator of THEMIS, the scientific and technical lead of this NASA/MIDEX mission, since its inception in 2001. He is also studying how the lunar environment is affected by its interaction with the solar wind, critical to future manned missions on the moon. Professor Angelopoulos's current research aims to understand how particles are accelerated in Earth's magnetosphere, how the upper atmosphere and ionosphere respond to space currents.
