Dynamical processes in space: Cluster results [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2013
After 12 years of operations, the Cluster mission continues to successfully fulfil its scientific objectives. The main goal of the Cluster mission, comprised of four identical spacecraft, is to study in three dimensions small-scale plasma structures ...

An Integrated Nonlinear Analysis (INA) Software for Space Plasma Turbulence

Earth and Space Science, 2023
We built an integrated nonlinear analysis software (INA)‐designed to study space plasma turbulence and intermittency. The MATLAB programming environment was used for the algorithmic development and implementation of methods for spectral analysis ...

Spatial and temporal characteristics of poloidal waves in the terrestrial plasmasphere: a CLUSTER case study [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2007
Oscillating magnetic field lines are frequently observed by spacecraft in the terrestrial and other planetary magnetospheres. The CLUSTER mission is a very suitable tool to further study these Alfvén waves as the four CLUSTER spacecraft provide for an

Cluster magnetotail observations of a tailward-travelling plasmoid at substorm expansion phase onset and field aligned currents in the plasma sheet boundary layer [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2005
We present data from both ground- and space-based instruments for a substorm event which occurred on 5 October 2002, with an expansion phase onset time of 02:50 UT determined from the ground magnetometer data.

Conjugate observations of quasi‐periodic emissions by Cluster and DEMETER spacecraft [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2013
AbstractQuasi‐periodic (QP) emissions are electromagnetic emissions at frequencies of about 0.5–4 kHz that are characterized by a periodic time modulation of the wave intensity. Typical periods of this modulation are on the order of minutes. We present a case study of a large‐scale long‐lasting QP event observed simultaneously on board the DEMETER ...

Accuracy of multi-point boundary crossing time analysis [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2011
Recent multi-spacecraft studies of solar wind discontinuity crossings using the timing (boundary plane triangulation) method gave boundary parameter estimates that are significantly different from those of the well-established single-spacecraft ...

Methods of Orbit Clustering of Serviced Spacecraft

System technologies, 2019
When planning orbital service operations, it is important to rationally divide a set of orbits serviced by a spacecraft into subsets (clusters) of orbits. This article proposes a technique for clustering the orbits of serviced spacecraft in the event of their servicing by a reusable service spacecraft with an electric rocket low thrust engine.

Magnetopause current as seen by Cluster [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2005
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]

Annales Geophysicae
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.

Near-simultaneous magnetotail flux rope observations with Cluster and Double Star [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2007
We present observations of three magnetic flux ropes in the tail of the Earth's magnetosphere on 7 August 2004 by the Cluster and Double Star TC-1 spacecraft.
