Located at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Suburban Maryland, USA, the Geospace Physics Laboratory is a component of Goddard's Heliophysics Science Division. This Laboratory leads the exploration and study of the heliosphere through the conception and development of missions designed to observe its origins, evolution, and interactions with the Earth, other planets, and the interstellar medium.
The Geospace Physics Laboratory conceives and executes investigations of the heliosphere by developing ever more capable instrumentation and theoretical models of heliospheric processes, over time scales up to the lifetime of the solar system. It establishes partnerships throughout the international science community, providing data access, analysis tools, and user support.
