Magnetospheric Multi Scale (MMS) Patching Story for DARPA AMP Collaboration
NASA’s Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) spacecraft are part of a robotic space mission that studies the Earth's magnetosphere. Launched in March 2015, MMS consists of four identical spacecraft that fly in a tetrahedral formation. The spacecraft gather information about the microphysics of magnetic reconnection including turbulence and energetic particle acceleration —processes common in many astrophysical plasmas.
