Mms

In 2015, NASA plans to launch the Magnetospheric Multiscale, or MMS, mission.

NASA’s Magnetospheric Multiscale mission, or MMS, launched in 2015, uses four identical spacecraft flying in a pyramid formation to take a three-dMMS, launched in 2015, uses four identical spacecraft flying in a pyramid formation to take a three-dimensional look at the magnetic environment around Earth.

MMS, launched in 2015, uses four identical spacecraft flying in a pyramid formation to take a three-dimensional look at the magnetic environment around Earth.

By combining observations from MMS with new 3-D computer simulations, scientists have been able to investigate the small-scale physics of what’s happening at our magnetosphere’s borders for the first time.

Sending a picture taken with a phonecam as MMS may be fun on occasion, but sending thousands or millions of pictures is not the work of a casual user.
