Session ID#: 18096

Session Description:
From March through September 2016, the MMS spacecraft tetrahedron constellation sweeps through the nightside near-tail and inner magnetosphere regions. During this period, there are specific conjunctions with the Van Allen Probes, geosynchronous satellites and a number of spacecraft configurations in the magnetosphere with the THEMIS spacecraft on the dayside and Cluster on the nightside. In addition, there is concurrent global ENA imaging of the inner magnetosphere with TWINS and the near-tail with IBEX. This unique opportunity facilitates study of multi-scale plasma processes from scale-lengths as short as kilometers, through meso-scale lengths of thousands of kilometers, and up to global magnetospheric scale-lengths of hundreds of thousands of kilometers. Multi-spacecraft science topics include, but are not limited to, substorm injections and dipolarizations, and ring current and radiation belt dynamics. Abstracts are solicited that investigate these and related science that are enabled by these unique configurations of in situ and remote sensing spacecraft.
