[ Get Data ]
[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: The main purpose of the Wind spacecraft is to measure the incoming
solar wind, magnetic fields and particles, although early on it will
also observe the Earth's foreshock region. Wind, together with
Geotail, Polar, SOHO, and Cluster projects, constitute a cooperative
scientific satellite project designated the International Solar
Terrestrial Physics (ISTP) program which aims at gaining improved
