Measurements and Applications
|
Combination of payloads to study the near-Earth space dominated by plasmas and to observe the electromagnetic and charged particle environments in a highly elliptical orbit. May potentially include both in-situ space weather instruments and an Auroral imager.

Resolution Summary
|
40 km for the Auroral imager. Not applicable for the in-situ space weather instruments.
