Features: Current EventsCritical Path Innovation: Space Weather, ProjectsProjects: THEMISFree Tagging: magnetosphere

NASA will be launching five satellites to study geomagnetic substorms. The project is title THEMIS or 'Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms'. Sometimes acronyms are very useful. The project will investigate how solar winds interact with the magnetosphere. It sounds very similar to the previous European project reported on earlier at Aceize.
