Overview
The Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission was launched by NASA in 2015 with its main objective devoted to the study of the magnetic reconnection at electron scales. Inspired by the stragegy of the European Cluster mission using four satellites in a tetrahedral configuration to measure gradients but evolving along an equatorial orbit and with much smaller 4-spacecraft separations at electron scales.
The mission will celebrate its 10 years of successful operations and measurements and the workshop aims at presenting its main results obtained during this period as well as more recent or even on going studies.
The workshop is open to the international science community with research interests in magnetic reconnections (theory, simulations, space or laboratory plasma environment) as well as other plasma instabilities, shock physics, FTE/flux ropes and boundary layers, wave and turbulence, plasma jets, Coronal mass ejection impacts on the magnetosphere and any other studies in relation with the multipoint measurements of the MMS mission.
