Science Team

The e-POP Science Team was formed prior to launch of the CASSIOPE spacecraft, but is no longer acting as a formalized group. It was comprised of members from 11 Canadian and 3 international universities and research organizations.

The Team was led by Dr. Andrew Yau as Mission Scientist and Project Leader, and by Dr. Gordon James as Deputy Mission Scientist.

Several of the team members led the development of the e-POP instruments: these include Drs. Peter Amerl, Paul Bernhardt, Leroy Cogger, Hajime Hayakawa, Gordon James, David Knudsen, Richard Langley, Sandy Murphree, Don Wallis, and Andrew Yau.
