MMS Science Telecons

Tuesdays, 10:00 am | Central US Time | 1 hour

Join the Meeting

March 26, 2024

Cancelled until two weeks after the SWT on April 9-11.


NOTE for those that visit NASA Goddard – A new Main Gate entrance and badging office on ICESat Road is operational (see map). The new badging office in Building 17 is intended to provide an improved experience for visitors and employees.

When hosting, please feel free to think broadly about your approach. For example,

  • It is perfectly fine to have fewer, longer presentations rather than the standard three short presentations.
  • Consider simply leading a discussion of an open question, a new event, or an analysis/simulation tutorial.
  • Invite people to present that are “further afield” than your own team. (e.g., a newly published paper of interest.)
  • If your week overlaps with a major conference or MMS SWT meeting, please anticipate that telecon will be cancelled.

As always, every host prioritizes anyone from across our community that wishes to present their new material for feedback from the team, especially to check the use or interpretations of the datasets.

If you are a "late breaking" co-author addition to an about-to-be submitted paper, it is a good practice to ask the author of that paper to present at this forum.

In the background is the Apollo/Saturn V building. SWRI and NASA-GSFC will be hosting a reception in that building before the launch (rather than after as had been discussed previously) for all of the MMS (SwRI and GSFC) invitees.  The reception will run from 8:30 PM until 10:30 PM and will include food and cash bar and access to the various interactive exhibits and theaters of the museum along with the gift shop. Launch is scheduled at 10:44 pm. Our group will have reserved sections of the bleachers.

The map (click to expand) shows the route from Cocoa Beach to the KSC Visitor Complex, where buses will pick up invitees to travel to the reception at the Apollo/Saturn V building (near top center). The nearby viewing site is the closest one to Pad 41 (top right), from which MMS will be launched.

 

MMS News (For the latest on MMS, like us on Facebook and get the news in your feed!)

  • New:  A set of photos have been posted of the MMS stack and shroud being prepped for encapsulation.
  • New:  18 Feb: SWT Agenda has been corrected/updated with minor changes, including the abbreviated version above.
  • New:  17 Feb: Final stacking of the spacecraft has been completed. Next: pyro mating, bagging, move to encapsulation. LV testing underway.
  • New:  17 Feb: NASA Guest Operations is expected to mail invitations to the launch by 17 Feb. Additional information will be provided with the invites.
  • Scientist In The Loop added to this page at upper right.
  • Future Plans: The first post-launch MMS SWT meeting will be in Boulder at LASP on 18-21 May, during the "eclipse break" from commissioning of the spacecraft.
  • MMS Book Chapters can be browsed with the following linked search: http://link.springer.com/search?query=Magnetospheric+Multiscale
  • Future Plans Made: The first post-launch MMS SWT meeting will be in Boulder at LASP on 15-19 June 18-21 May, during the "eclipse break" from commissioning of the spacecraft.
  • If for any reason the launch slips, it will do so one day at a time, and it is expected that the launch will occur not later than 16 March.
  • 12 Jan 2015: ULA reported to LSP and MMS that the qualification test of the new Booster Main Vehicle Battery (BMVB) was completed. Initial indications are the battery passed the test with the expected post-test VOC and a successful functional test after vibration. The battery capacity test and a DPA of the cells will be completed this week. This further increases confidence that the battery issue will be resolved in time to maintain the 3/12/2015 launch date.
