Magnetic Multiscale Science previewed

From the creator

A pre-launch news briefing on March 11 from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida previewed the science of the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission, set to lift off at 10:44 p.m. EDT Thursday, March 12 from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. The mission’s four identical observatories will orbit earth -- providing the first ever three-dimensional view of magnetic reconnection –a fundamental process that occurs throughout the universe during which interaction between magnetic fields results in explosive energy that can accelerate particles to nearly the speed of light.
