    58The [wiki:Magnectorspheric_MultiScale_Mission Magnectorspheric MultiScale Mission] (MMS) is a Solar-Terrestrial Probe mission consisting of four identically instrumented spacecraft.  The goal is that the spacecraft will use the Earth’s magnetosphere as a laboratory to study the microphysics of three fundamental plasma processes: [wiki:Magnetic_reconnection magnetic reconnection] (Magnetic reconnection is the fundamental mechanism by which magnetic energy is dissipated.), energetic particle acceleration, and turbulence.  The four MMS spacecraft are being developed at NASA’s [wiki:Goddard_Space_Flight_Center Goddard Space Flight Center].  The mission is set to launch August 14, 2014.

    66 The MMS mission is a major scientific undertaking, involving a number of institutions in the United States as well as partners in Europe and Japan. The SMART Team is led by Southwest Research Institute, San Antonio, Texas, and consists of an Instrument Team and a Theory and Modeling Team. In addition, NASA has selected three Interdisciplinary Science (IDS) teams to participate in the mission as members of the MMS Science Working Group. The four spacecraft are being built, integrated, and tested at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Maryland, which is also responsible for mission operations. Science operatons planning and instrument command sequence development will be performed at the MMS Science Operations Center (SOC) located at the University of Colorado's Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics, Boulder, Colorado.
