The VT SuperDARN group is hosting a one-week visit by colleagues from the SuperDARN group at the Institute for Space-Earth Environmental Research (ISEE) Nagoya University. The visitors are Dr. Nozomu Nishitani (SuperDARN PI), Dr. Tomo Hori, and Mr. Kento Oya (graduate student). Shared research interests, radar operations and planning for the SuperDARN collaboration are being discussed. Drs. Nishitani and Hori made presentations to the Space@VT graduate student seminar on April 23. All three participated in a trip to the site of the Blackstone radar lead by Mr. Kevin Sterne. Our visitors were greeted by the new director of Space@VT, Prof. Scott Bailey.
