This session focuses on advances in space plasma physics instrumentation and their applications. Abstracts should focus on instrumentation, measurement techniques, and data processing algorithms that enable new areas of science. Enabling technologies for novel mission concepts are welcome. The goal of this session is to stimulate discussion across disciplines and between generations on instrument technologies, providing opportunities for education and future collaborations. The observation targets include any region of space where plasmas, partially ionized gases, and accelerated particles are found, including the Sun, the Earth, planetary exospheres, interplanetary space, and the interstellar medium. Abstracts are solicited that investigate and develop instruments or supporting technologies for in-situ and remote sensing studies of particles and fields. Examples include, but are not limited to, fluxgate and search coil magnetometers, electric field instruments, electron analyzers, energetic particle and fields instruments, radio and plasma wave instrumentation, ion analyzers, and radiation monitors.
