NASA: Back to Work, Back to Mission

NASA is once again open for business in a big way, and we’re back to our core mission implementing America’s ambitious space program.

With LADEE in lunar orbit and Juno heading toward the Jupiter after an Earth flyby, we're getting ready to wrap up another commercial cargo flight to the International Space Station and send a new crew of three to the orbital outpost. Meanwhile, MAVEN is on track for a launch to Mars on Nov. 18.

Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission

The Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission (MMS) is a planned NASA unmanned space mission, to study the Earth's magnetosphere using four identical spacecraft flying in a tetrahedral formation. It will be deployed in 2014. It is designed to gather information about the microphysics of magnetic reconnection, energetic particle acceleration, and turbulence, processes that occur in many astrophysical plasmas.^[1]
