Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Göttingen, Germany

Website
The research focus of the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research is the solar system with its planets and moons, its comets and asteroids, and of course the Sun. Our scientists theoretically model the workings of the solar system and simulate them with computers. In close cooperation with their engineer colleagues, they also develop and build scientific instruments that explore these celestial bodies both by remote sensing as well as through in-situ measurements. For its space exploration projects, the institute collaborates with international space agencies such as NASA and ESA on numerous missions.
