Multi-Needle Langmuir Probes are sensors measuring electron density in plasma that have been developed at the Physics Department at UiO and have flown on many space missions, foremost to measure the plasma of the Earth's ionosphere. The nanoelectronics group have recently developed a 'system-on-chip' (SoC) that integrates the entire sensor interface for these sensors on a single integarted circuit (IC).This master project shall bring these two components together in an embedded sensor system and test this system in a recently acquired plasma chamber at the physics department.

Sun sensors are used by space craft to determine their own attitude/orientation relative to the vector pointing at the sun. A PhD project within the 4DSpace Research Initiative has developped such a sun sensor based on principles from 'neuromorphic' electronics. The aim of this MSc project now is to make that sensor part of a system that will be able to fly on a sounding rocket or cube-sat.
