WIND
WIND, launched November 1, 1994 is the first Global Geospace Science (GGS)
mission. These instruments measure plasma, energetic particles, and magnetic fields in the magnetosphere and ionosphere, determine magnetospheric output to interplanetary space from the upstream region, and investigate basic plasma processes in the near-Earth solar wind. A more detailed description of WIND is available at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.
Where is WIND at the moment?
WIND Solar Wind Experiment
The Experimental Space Physics Laboratory at the University of New Hampshire
provided the onboard data system for the Solar Wind Experiment on WIND.
