The objective of the Swarm mission is to provide the best ever survey of the geomagnetic field and its temporal evolution, and gain new insights into improving our knowledge of the Earth’s interior and climate.
15 June 2009 Earth observation satellites in low orbit are continually buffeted by the wisps of atmosphere that remain. Predicting how much air drag a satellite can encounter is critical to the design, cost and operation of a mission - an ESA study shows how.
24 March 2009 With ESA's magnetic field mission due for launch in less than two years, the Agency is organising the Second Swarm International Science Meeting. The meeting will provide the forum for leading scientists, as well as students, to discuss how data from the mission can address challenges in fields of science associated with geomagnetism.
