MISSION VIDEOS
This is a collection of videos and animations about the MMS mission.
- NASA | MMS Mission Overview
Senior Project Scientist Tom Moore outlines the three instrument suites onboard the four MMS spacecraft. - MMS Launch and Deploy Animation
This animation follows Magnetosphere Multiscale (MMS) Mission from launch at Kennedy Space Center through deployment and on station doing science. The MMS mission is comprising four identically instrumented spacecraft that will use Earth's magnetosphere as a laboratory to study the microphysics of three fundamental plasma processes: magnetic reconnection, energetic particle acceleration, and turbulence.
