Magnetopause current as seen by Cluster [PDF]
The four-spacecraft, magnetic field measurements on Cluster can be combined to produce an accurate determination of the electric current in the magnetopause boundary during stable magnetopause crossings.

ECLAT Cluster Spacecraft Magnetotail Plasma Region Identifications (2001–2009) [PDF]
The European Space Agency’s four‐spacecraft Cluster mission has been observing the Earth’s dynamical magnetotail region since early 2001. The magnetotail, and in particular the hot trapped plasma sheet, is a critical region in the coupled Sun‐Earth system.

Four-spacecraft determination of magnetopause orientation, motion and thickness: comparison with results from single-spacecraft methods [PDF]
In this paper, we use Cluster data from one magnetopause event on 5 July 2001 to compare predictions from various methods for determination of the velocity, orientation, and thickness of the magnetopause current layer. We employ established as well as

Applied aspects of cluster correction of small spacecraft
В статье рассматриваются прикладные аспекты по поддержанию требуемого пространственного положения малых космических аппаратов (МКА) в составе кластера. Исследуется структурная устойчивость кластера, состоящего из трёх МКА, обладающего баллистической структурой, которая обеспечивает решение общей целевой задачи совместного мониторинга заданных районов ...

An initial investigation of the long-term trends in the fluxgate magnetometer (FGM) calibration parameters on the four Cluster spacecraft [PDF]
Over the course of more than 10 years in operation, the calibration parameters of the outboard fluxgate magnetometer (FGM) sensors on the four Cluster spacecraft are shown to be remarkably stable.
