Energetic Particles: Acceleration, Composition and Transport (EPACT) Investigation on WIND

Entry ID: WIND_EPACT

[ 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 ...
