This fundamental process dissipates magnetic energy and propels charged particles, both of which contribute to a dynamic space weather system that scientists want to better understand, and even someday predict, as we do terrestrial weather.

Since it launched, MMS has made more than 4,000 trips through the magnetic boundaries around Earth, each time gathering information about the way the magnetic fields and particles move. A surprising result was that at the moment of interconnection between the sun’s magnetic field lines and those of Earth the crescents turned abruptly so that the electrons flowed along the field lines. By watching these electron tracers, MMS made the first observation of the predicted breaking and interconnection of magnetic fields in space.

These fields help protect Earth from harmful effects of solar storms and cosmic rays. Magnetic reconnection also occurs throughout the universe and can accelerate particles up to nearly the speed of light.By studying reconnection in this local, natural laboratory, MMS helps us understand reconnection elsewhere as well, such as in the atmosphere of the Sun and other stars, in the vicinity of black holes and neutron stars, and at the boundary between our solar system’s heliosphere and interstellar space.MMS consists of four identical observatories that will provide the first three-dimensional view of magnetic reconnection. The four MMS observatories will fly through reconnection regions in a tight formation in well under a second, so key sensors on each spacecraft are designed to measure the space environment at rates faster than any previous mission.For additional visuals regarding the MMS mission and science, please see our MMS Pre-launch Gallery. || ", "hits": 15 }, { "id": 10204, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/10204/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2015-02-18T11:30:00-05:00", "title": "MMS Mission Overview", "description": "Watch this video on the NASAexplorer YouTube channel.For complete transcript, click here. || missionoverview_print.jpg (1024x576) [146.3 KB] || missionoverview.jpg (1280x720) [125.0 KB] || missionoverview_thm.png (80x40) [16.6 KB] || missionoverview_web.png (320x180) [72.7 KB] || missionoverview_searchweb.png (320x180) [72.7 KB] || missionoverview_web.jpg (320x180) [28.5 KB] || G2014-103_MMS_Mission_OverviewMASTER_appletv.webm (960x540) [31.6 MB] || G2014-103_MMS_Mission_OverviewMASTER_appletv_subtitles.m4v (960x540) [117.8 MB] || G2014-103_MMS_Mission_OverviewMASTER_youtube_hq.mov (1280x720) [183.1 MB] || G2014-103_MMS_Mission_OverviewMASTER_appletv.m4v (960x540) [117.9 MB] || G2014-103_MMS_Mission_OverviewMASTER_1280x720.wmv (1280x720) [136.2 MB] || G2014-103_MMS_Mission_OverviewMASTER_ipod_lg.m4v (640x360) [47.2 MB] || G2014-103_MMS_Mission_OverviewMASTER.en_US.vtt [5.6 KB] || G2014-103_MMS_Mission_OverviewMASTER.en_US.srt [5.6 KB] || G2014-103_MMS_Mission_OverviewMASTER_nasaportal.mov (640x360) [109.7 MB] || G2014-103_MMS_Mission_OverviewMASTER_ipod_sm.mp4 (320x240) [25.0 MB] || G2014-103_MMS_Mission_OverviewMASTER_prores.mov (1280x720) [4.3 GB] || ", "hits": 169 }, { "id": 11700, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/11700/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2015-01-15T11:00:00-05:00", "title": "Exploring Earth's Magnetism", "description": "In March 2015, NASA will launch four spacecraft to study how magnetic fields around Earth connect and disconnect—a process known as magnetic reconnection.

The four spacecraft, each identically engineered, make up the Magnetospheric Multiscale, or MMS, mission. Flying in a pyramid-shaped configuration, the spacecraft will orbit Earth and pass through areas known to be reconnection sites. Each reconnection event unleashes a massive burst of energy that can accelerate particles within Earth’s protective magnetic environment, known as the magnetosphere, to nearly the speed of light. Sensors onboard the spacecraft will measure the energy and movement of charged particles during an event, providing scientists with the first three-dimensional look at this phenomenon.

To create the first-ever 3-dimensional maps of this process, a process called magnetic reconnection, which occurs all over the universe, the Magnetospheric Multiscale, or MMS, mission uses four separate spacecraft equipped with ultra high speed instruments. Launching four satellites into space simultaneously is a complicated process. In addition, each spacecraft has six booms that will unfold and extend in space once in orbit. A launch and deployment with so many moving parts must be meticulously planned. Watch the video to get a sneak preview of how MMS will make this journey: The four spacecraft are housed in a single rocket on their trip into space. One by one, each ejects out, before moving into a giant pyramid-shaped configuration. Next each spacecraft deploys its six booms. Once in orbit, MMS will fly through regions near Earth where this little-understood process of magnetic reconnection occurs. Magnetic reconnection happens in thin layers just miles thick, but can tap into enough power at times to create gigantic explosions many times the size of Earth. Reconnection happens when magnetic field lines explosively realign and release massive bursts of energy, while hurling particles out at nearly the speed of light in all directions. Magnetic reconnection powers eruptions on the sun and – closer to home – triggers the flow of material and energy from interplanetary space into near-Earth space. The MMS orbit will carry the four spacecraft through reconnection regions near Earth, using this nearby natural laboratory to better understand how reconnection occurs everywhere in space.
