Definition
- The Announcement of Opportunity (AO) for the Instrument Science Suite Team (ISST) has been released in FY '03. Magnetosphere MultiScale (MMS) is currently in the Formulation phase of the project. MMS is scheduled to be launched in 2009. Mission Capabilities: - MMS will determine the small-scale basic plasma processes which transport, accelerate and energize plasmas in thin boundary and current layers -- and which control the structure and dynamics of the Earth's magnetosphere. - MMS will for the first time measure the 3D structure and dynamics of the key magnetospheric boundary regions, from the subsolar magnetopause to the distant tail. - MMS will pave the way for future Constellation-type missions.
