Dual Segmented Langmuir Probe (DSLP) is an instrument developed primarily by Czech researchers and engineers to study the magnetospheric background plasma flown on board the spacecraft of the European Space Agency (ESA) Proba 2.
[1] Data acquired by DSLP will be used to reach these specific scientific goals:[2] The DSLP instrument consists of two Langmuir probes, electronics and small data processing unit.
DSLP shares some interface, power and processing resources with TPMU experiment.
DSLP has been developed on the basis of its predecessor ISL (Instrument Sonde de Langmuir), flown on the Demeter mission of CNES.
The team has been led by the Principal Investigator Pavel Trávníček.
