Description

The International Magnetospheric Study is a proposed international co-operative enterprise during the years 1976-1978 whose aim is a quantitative understanding of the dynamic plasma and field environment of the Earth. Satellite programmes play a key role in this study, together with co-ordinated ground-based, balloon and rocket observations. Herein the author reviews the presently announced IMS satellite programmes, and illustrates many of the objectives of the IMS satellite investigations with examples drawn from current research.
