| Description | The magnetospheric multiprobes (MMP) are a set of ejectable, self contained, limited lifetime free flyers which are designed to make plasma diagnostic measurements at multiple locations within telemetry range of the space station's coorbiting platform and polar platform. When configured as CHEMSATs, one or more MMP's will conduct chemical releases as tracers or modifiers of the local plasma and field environment, while diagnostic measurements are made from other MMP's and from the nearby platform. The probes will be battery powered and will have lifetimes of a few days to several weeks. Up to 12 probes would be placed on the coorbiting platform and the polar platform every six months and two years respectively for use in the campaign mode of operation. |
