Space Sciences Department Achievements in 2023 Research Laboratories – Conferences & Publications

During the year 2023, we had a very arduous year with a lot of research activities in all seven of our research laboratories:

CubeSat, Radio Astronomy, Space Artificial Intelligence, Space Weather and Ionospheric, Meteorite, High Energy Astrophysics, and Rocket Exhaust and Propulsion Systems. At the international and national levels, the Space Sciences Department researchers have participated in 11 conferences organized throughout different continents. In the following table, we report the name of the conference, where it was held, the date, and how many papers were presented there.
