MMS: Studying Magnetic Reconnection Near Earth
Huntsville AL (SPX) Mar 13, 2015 - The Magnetospheric Multiscale, or MMS, mission is scheduled to launch into space on March 12, 2015. The mission consists of four spacecraft to observe a phenomenon called magnetic reconnection - which doesn't happen naturally on Earth all that often, but is a regular occurrence in space. At the heart of magnetic reconnection is a fundamental physics process in which magnetic field lines come tog ... more
