| Description | The Inner Magnetosphere Imager (IMI) mission will carry instruments to globally image energetic neutral atoms, far and extreme ultraviolet light, and X-rays. These imagers will see the ring current, inner plasmasheet, plasmasphere, aurora, and geocorona. With these observations it will be possible, for the first time, to develop an understanding of the global shape of the inner magnetosphere and the interrelationships between its parts. Seven instruments are currently envisioned on a single spinning spacecraft with a despun platform. IMI will be launched into an elliptical, polar orbit with an apogee of approximately 7 Earth radii altitude and perigee of 4800 km altitude. |
