Concept information
Preferred term
GEC
Definition
- The Geospace Electrodynamic Connections (GEC) was cited as a future mission in NASA's Sun-Earth Connection Roadmap. It was initially developed by the Geospace Multiprobes Science Definition Team. A preliminary spacecraft design was made by Orbital Sciences Corporation to bracket cost and weight constraints. A Community Science Workshop held at GSFC solicited an overview of what scientists thought the goals of GEC should be. A Science and Technology Definition Team (STDT) was selected in May 1998. The Integrated Mission Design Center at GSFC refined the spacecraft design in accordance with the suggestions of the STDT.
