Wind Spacecraft - The WIND spacecraft is designed to provide complete plasma, energetic particle, and magnetic field input for magnetospheric and ionospheric studies, determine the magnetospheric output to interplanetary space in the up-stream region, investigate basic plasma processes occurring in the near-Earth solar wind, and provide baseline ecliptic plane observations to be used in heliospheric latitudes from ULYSSES. NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.
Wind Spacecraft Magnetic Field Investigation (MFI) - The basic instrument of the MFI on the WIND Spacecraft is a boom-mounted dual triaxial fluxgate magnetometer and associated electronics. The MFI provides data for studies of a broad range of scales of structures and fluctuation characteristics of the interplanetary magnetic field throughout the mission, and, where appropriate, relate them to the statics and dynamics of the magnetosphere. NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.
Wind Spacecraft SMS - Measurements from the Solar Wind Ion Composition Spectrometer (SWICS), the High MASS Resolution Spectrometer (MASS) and the SupraThermal Ion Composition Spectrometer (STICS) will allow the SMS package to study solar abundances, solar wind acceleration, physical processes in the solar atmosphere, physical properties of the lower corona, solar wind kinetic properties, production of suprathermal ions, interplanetary acceleration mechanisms, and pick-up and acceleration processes of interstellar and lunar neutrals. University of Maryland.
Wind Spacecraft Solar Wind Experiment (SWE) - The SWE instrument includes 2 Faraday cup ion detectors which provide measurements of the solar wind protons and alpha particles at energy/charge up to 8 keV. MIT.
