NASA Approves Implementation Phase for Magnetospheric Multiscale

Officials from NASA's headquarters, in Washington DC, gave the final confirmation to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) on the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) misson, whose main objective is to analyze one of the most basic phenomena in the Universe, namely magnetic reconnection.
