The scientific objective of the MMS mission is to: |
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.
