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 ...

Coordinated interhemispheric SuperDARN radar observations of the ionospheric response to flux transfer events observed by the Cluster spacecraft at the high-latitude magnetopause [PDF]
At 10:00 UT on 14 February 2001, the quartet of ESA Cluster spacecraft were approaching the Northern Hemisphere high-latitude magnetopause in the post-noon sector on an outbound trajectory. At this time, the interplanetary magnetic field incident

Cluster electron observations of the separatrix layer during traveling compression regions [PDF]
[ 1] We present Cluster 4-point observations of electrons during traveling compression regions ( TCRs) on 19 September 2001. The electron and \B\ signatures vary with distance from the plasma sheet, confirming that transient plasma sheet bulges propagate

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.

The Cluster spacecraft's view of the motion of the high-latitude magnetopause [PDF]
Abstract. The boundary between the interplanetary magnetic field and the terrestrial magnetic field is the magnetopause. This magnetopause is influenced by dynamic changes in the solar wind, that is different solar wind conditions lead to a change in the shape and location of the magnetopause.

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

Intermittent energy dissipation by turbulent reconnection [PDF]
Magnetic reconnection—the process responsible for many explosive phenomena in both nature and laboratory—is efficient at dissipating magnetic energy into particle energy.

Modulation of NTC frequencies by Pc5 ULF pulsations : experimental test of the generation mechanism and magnetoseismology of the emitting surface [PDF]
Nonthermal continuum (NTC) radiation is believed to be emitted by the conversion of an electrostatic wave into an electromagnetic one, which takes place at the Earth's magnetic equator.

Coordinated Cluster/Double Star observations of dayside reconnection signatures [PDF]
The recent launch of the equatorial spacecraft of the Double Star mission, TC-1, has provided an unprecedented opportunity to monitor the southern hemisphere dayside magnetopause boundary layer in conjunction with northern hemisphere observations by ...
