- Description
A constellation of three satellites form the Swarm Earth Explorer mission. Swarm will identify and measure magnetic signals stemming from Earth’s core, mantle, crust, oceans, ionosphere and magnetosphere – all of which create the magnetic field that protects our planet. This information will provide insight into processes occurring deep inside the planet and yield a better understanding of the near-Earth electromagnetic environment and the impact solar wind has on Earth.
