  • Ion trajectory model and instrumentation used to collect ion data

    Models from Moses' work depicting trajectories of ionized particles after launching into the Ionosphere. Below are instruments for the KINET-X rocket used to collect ionospheric data for Moses' research. 

Magdalina Moses is a graduate student under Professor Kristina Lynch. Moses has published her latest research, 'Single-point in situ measurements of thermal ions during the KiNET-X ionospheric sounding rocket mission' in the journal Physics of Plasmas April 2025 issue. Her work investigates the results of barium releases into the Ionosphere from the KINetic-scale Energy and momentum Transport eXperiment rocket mission. The journal's editors also selected Moses' work to be a featured article in Scilight - a science highlight journal for exceptional and newly published research.
