10 May 2024 - The online newspaper Granada Digital just published a video on the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía. The IAA has participated in important discoveries in recent years and has been awarded the Severo Ochoa seal of excellence. Its researchers cover multiple disciplines, an important aspect for the enrichment of its work and the possibility of collaborating with large international projects.
Carmen Pastor, software engineer at IAA, grabs her chance to highlight briefly our European funded DUSTER project :-)
The video is also included in the broader online news article, which mentions (translated to English):
Carmen Pastor, a software engineer, is involved in the development of space systems. Her team is currently involved in the DUSTER project, which investigates the properties of dust particles found on the moon and in other environments where space missions may go. "It is important to know the characteristics of these particles in order to subsequently be able to build both a cleaning system and perhaps maintenance systems for the instruments themselves," says Carmen Pastor.
