The Global Geospace Mission
No Customer Reviews
The Global Geospace Mission is the American contribution to the International Solar Terrestrial Program. The first of the two spacecraft, WIND, was launched successfully on November 1, 1994; the second, POLAR, is scheduled for launch in December 1995. The articles in this volume describe the mission, the instruments and the ground system associated with these two spacecraft. It is anticipated that the International Solar Terrestrial Program will make a major advance in our understanding of how the solar wind interacts with the Earth's magnetosphere. The instruments that have been selected for flight are state-of-the-art and comprehensive; the spacecraft are both capable and complex; and the orbits have been chosen so as to be able to address the major outstanding questions of magnetospheric physics.
