NASA | MMS Mission Overview

Senior Project Scientist Tom Moore outlines the three instrument suites onboard the four MMS spacecraft.

On March 12, 2015, NASA plans to launch the Magnetospheric Multiscale, or MMS, mission. MMS consists of four identical spacecraft that will orbit around Earth through the dynamic magnetic system surrounding our planet to study a little-understood phenomenon called magnetic reconnection.

Watch NASA's new movie to learn more about MMS and the phenomenon of magnetic reconnection, which occurs near Earth, on the sun, in other stars and in the vicinity of black holes and neutron stars.

The Magnetiospheric Multiscale, or MMS, mission will provide unprecedented detail on a phenomenon called magnetic reconnection, which happens throughout the universe and can accelerate particles up to nearly the speed of light.

Thanks for this more in-depth look at the probes themselves. That's really interesting.

Dr. Tom Moore gives an excellent explanation of the instruments on the satellite(s) and an overview of the mission.  My thanks go out to Dr. Moore and the entire team!  Good luck and keep up the good work.

Do the probes also have a way to harness the energy it is travelling through to recharge itself?  What are the expected electrical power outputs along the major flow lines? Between MMS and IBEX can you now present a map of the electric environment in the solar system? Can it also look at the electric connection between the Earth and the Moon?

Scientists get to think up crazy stuff and I'm stuck at home doing busy work for my life.

If they ever made a movie about MMS the role of Tom Moore should be played my Michael Keaton

Our main knowledge is symbolic to selfward knowledge. Design.

I call b.s. Why is it that all we ever get from nasa are cgi cartoons? Real pics, or it didn't happen.
