Concept information
Preferred term
ACC
Definition
- The Accelerometer measures the Swarm satellite's non-gravitational acceleration in its respective orbit. The instrument helps scientists to study factors that cause non-gravitational accelerations such as air drag, winds, Earth albedo, and direct solar radiation pressure on the spacecraft. The data provided by the instrument can provide air density measurements that can be used with magnetometer data to provide new insights into geomagnetic processes. (en)
