Advance Retarding Potential Analyser for Ionospheric Studies (ARIS)

ARIS (Advanced Retarding Potential Analyser for Ionospheric Studies) is an ionospheric plasma and electrostatic instrument developed by IIST for the structural and compositional studies of the ionosphere. Solar activity which is the main driver of the ionosphere can be studied in real-time by performing ion and electron density measurements in the ionosphere. Such measurements provide us with the warning of hazardous radiation effects on space assets, possible radiation exposure to aircraft crew and possible power grid disruptions.
