Dear colleagues, Below please find the official announcement of the first CHAMP sample data set. CHAMP is a dedicated satellite mission for studying of the gravity field, magnetic field and for sounding the atmosphere. CHAMP is still in the Commissioning Phase therefore the full accuracy of the data has not yet reached. Our intention is to make the international community familiar with the data available and with the data formats. Please visit our CHAMP web site for more details Best regards,
Dear colleagues, To get access to the announced CHAMP sample data sets which were released today (Dec. 8, 2000), please visit the CHAMP Newsletter No. 2 on our CHAMP WWW homepage http://op.gfz-potsdam.de/champ/ Kind regards,

Dear SWEN readers, We have finished the manufacture and testing of our apparatus for Space Solar Patrol Mission (Radiometer and EUV-spectrometer) and now we will make the solar X-ray spectrometer (project # 1523 "Creation of the X-ray spectrometer for permanent space solar patrol"). Best wishes for the New Year Sincerely yours, S. Avakyan *****************************************************************
Solar Encounter: The First Solar Orbiter Workshop Santa Cruz, Tenerife
(Spain)
Dear colleagues, The Solar Orbiter was selected three months ago as an ESA F-mission for the time frame 2008-2013 (for information see: http://solarsystem.estec.esa.nl/projects/solar_orbiter.htm). It is now up to the solar/heliospheric community to exploit this excellent opportunity to the full. To that effect, the first Solar Orbiter workshop is now being organised. The meeting will take place on 14-18 May, 2001, in Santa Cruz, Tenerife (Spain). The prime objectives of the Solar Orbiter workshop are to - inform the community about the science opportunities of the Solar
Orbiter mission,
The Solar Orbiter workshop is sponsored by ESA and supported by the other space agencies. It is also an opportunity for the space agencies to discuss inter-agency collaboration. It is intended to have a healthy mix of invited tutorial/review talks and contributed talks/posters. Ample time will be allocated for splinter group discussions. The members of the Scientific Organising Committee (SOC) are: E. Antonucci, P. Bochsler, J.-L. Bougeret, P. Cargill, M. Carlsson, M. Coradini, B. Fleck, R. Harrison, E. Marsch (Chair), R. Marsden, V. Martinez-Pillet, E. Priest, R. Schwenn, P. Tondello, J.-C. Vial. A full 1-week workshop is envisaged. The "Instituto de Astrophysica
de Canarias" (IAC) in Tenerife is organising the meeting and provides the
required infra-structure. All necessary information on travel, accommodation,
registration, abstract deadlines, can be found on the web-site http://www.iac.es/proyect/orbiter/.
The local organisation
We encourage you, the active members of the European and world-wide solar/heliospheric science community, to attend the Solar Orbiter workshop and engage yourselves in this fascinating and challenging project. On behalf of the Organising Committee, Eckart Marsch

Round Table on 21st Century Monte Carlo Methods for Space Applications Monte Carlo methods have been utilised in various problems and applications
involving particle transport analysis since 1940s. Today, these methods
are widely used in diverse fields such as nuclear and accelerator studies,
medical radiotherapy treatment planning, biological applications and fundamental
physics experiments. Space and
The aim of this Round Table is to bring together experts and users of advanced Monte Carlo methods, with the emphasis on space-related applications and developments of such methods in the 21st century. The topics of this "roadmap" gathering include, but are not limited to : - Emerging requirements in space electronics and science detector systems
