Summary
| Description |
This fisheye image shows NASA’s four Magnetospheric Multiscale, or MMS, observatories inside the cleanroom at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. The team completed their first comprehensive performance test – showing that both hardware and software meet requirements -- on observatory number one. This summer, they expect to start environmental testing, which ensures the spacecraft can withstand the extreme conditions of space. Technicians are working to integrate components on the remaining three observatories. MMS will study a little-understood process called magnetic reconnection, which both seeds explosive eruptions on the sun and helps transfer energy into near-Earth space, making it the ultimate driver of space weather. Launch is scheduled for fall 2014.

Goddard plays a leading role in NASA’s accomplishments by contributing compelling scientific knowledge to advance the Agency’s mission. Follow us on Twitter Like us on Facebook Find us on Instagram |
