... h3. About the MMS Mission:
The scientific objective of the MMS mission is to:
\\
{panel}
Understand the microphysics of magnetic reconnection by determining the kinetic processes occurring in the electron diffusion region that are responsible for collisionless magnetic reconnection, especially how reconnection is initiated.
{panel}
Specifically, and in priority order, MMS will address three specific objectives:
* Determine the role played by electron inertial effects and turbulent dissipation in driving magnetic reconnection in the electron diffusion region.
* Determine the rate of magnetic reconnection and the parameters that control it.
* Determine the role played by ion inertial effects in the physics of magnetic reconnection.
