Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms

E648474

NASA space mission satellite constellation space physics mission

Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms (THEMIS) is a NASA space physics mission designed to study the onset and evolution of magnetospheric substorms by observing Earth's auroras and the dynamics of the planet's magnetic environment.
