Dwayne Brown, public affairs officer, NASA Headquarters, left, Jeff Newmark, interim director, Heliophysics Division, NASA Headquarters, second from left, Jim Burch, principal investigator, MMS Instrument Suite, Southwest Research Institute, center, Craig Tooley, MMS project manager, NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, second from right, and Paul Cassak, associate professor, West Virginia University, right, are seen during a briefing about the upcoming launch of the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission, Wednesday, February 25, 2015, at NASA Headquarters in Washington DC. The mission is scheduled for a March 12 launch from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, and will help scientists understand the process of magnetic reconnection in the atmosphere of the sun and other stars, in the vicinity of black holes and neutron stars, and at the boundary between our solar system’s heliosphere and interstellar space. The mission consists of four identical spacecraft that will provide the first three-dimensional view of magnetic reconnection.
