Wind
Overview:
Launched on November 1st, 1994; WINDs Position was in a sunward, multiple double-lunar swing orbit with a maximum apogee of 250Re during the first two years of operation. It was followed by a halo orbit at the Earth-Sun L1 point.
Objectives:
- Provide complete plasma, energetic particle, and magnetic field input for magnetospheric and ionospheric studies
- Determine the magnetospheric output to interplanetary space in the up-stream region
- Investigate basic plasma processes occurring in the near-Earth solar wind
- Provide baseline ecliptic plane observations to be used in heliospheric latitudes from ULYSSES
Experiments:
- WAVES Radio and Plasma Wave experiment
- EPACT Energetic Particle Acceleration, Composition and Transport
- SWE Solar Wind Experiment
- SMS Solar Wind and Suprathermal Ion Composition Studies
- MFI Magnetic Fields Investigation
- 3D Plasma and Energetic Particle Analyzer
