  4. Updated 2005? ILWS web page June 11, 2007

  5. M-TG update (2004 vs. today) 1 • USA • TWINS (2004: launch 2004/2006) • launched June 2006; status? • THEMIS (2004: launch 2007) • launched February 2007 • tail science: 12/2007 - 4/2008 • radiation belt science: 4/2008 - 6/2008 • dayside science: 6/2008 - 10/2008 • MMS (2004: launch 2012) • instruments selected in 2005 • launch scheduled to 2013

  6. M-TG update (2004 vs. today) 2 • USA, continued • LWS Geospace missions • RBSP (2004: launch 2012) • instruments selected 2006 • launch scheduled to 2012 • ITSP (ITM; 2004: launch 2010) • status?, • simultaneity with RBSP lost? • ”Programmatic” spacecraft • LANL/GEO&GPS, NOAA/GOES&NPOES, DMSP, HEO, ... • Beyond horizon? • GEC (Global Electrodynamic Connections, ITM) • MC (Magnetospheric Constellation)

  7. M-TG update (2004 vs. today) 3 • Canada • ePOP (ITM, 2004: launch 2006) • scheduled for launch onboard CASSIOPE in 2008 • RAVENS (2004: launch 2008) • has become part of KuaFu • launch TBD (2013 or later?) • ORBITALS (2004: simultaneous with RBSP) • status ?

  8. M-TG update (2004 vs. today) 4 • Russia • Resonance (2004: launch 2009) • Beijing 2006: • launch 2012 • operations with RBSP and ORBITALS • ROY (no launch date given in 2004) • status? (not mentioned in Beijing) • Interball-3 (2004: launch not before 2010) • status? (not mentioned in Beijing)

  9. M-TG update (2004 vs. today) 5 • Japan • SCOPE (2004: launch about 2012) • presently planned for the ESA Cosmic Vision 2015-2025 era • ERG (Energization and Radiation in Geospace) • not in the M-TG report in 2004 • small satellite to join RBSP and ORBITALS etc. • perigee 250 km, apogee 6.6 RE • China • SWISE (2004: launches 2010-2012) • not mentioned at the ILWS meeting in Beijing 2006 • KuaFu • not in the M-TG report in 2004 • more information during the present meeting

  10. M-TG update (2004 vs. today) 6 • Europe • Cluster extended to December 2009 • SWARM to be launched in 2009 (”ITM”) • No new magnetospheric missions before the Cosmic Vision 2015 - 2025 era (in practice 2017/2018) • First Cosmic Vision Call (proposals due 29 June, 2007) • in total 64 LoIs for 2 launch opportunities • only 2 magnetosphere proposals are being prepared • Cross-Scale (S. Schwartz) M3 in the M-TG report in 2004 • WARP (Waves and relativistic particles, T. Pulkkinen) inner magnetospheric equatorial 4-S/C constellation

  11. Some (weak) conclusions • Short term (2007 – 2009) prospects are great • Cluster & Themis supported with SOHO & Stereo • Next opprtunity around 2013 • MMS, RBSB, Orbitals, ERG, Resonance • some uncertainties • Will Europe return to the magnetosphere in 2017?
