Canadian Geospace Monitoring (CGSM) is a Canadian space science program that was initiated in 2005. CGSM is funded primarily by the Canadian Space Agency , and consists of networks of imagers, meridian scanning photometers , riometers, magnetometers , digital ionosondes , and High Frequency SuperDARN radars.
The fluxgate magnetometer (FGM) is similar to previous instruments flown on spacecraft like the Voyagers, Magsat, Active Magnetospheric Particle Tracer Explorers, Mars Global Surveyor, etc. [10] This style of FGM uses twin wide-range, triaxial flux gate sensors mounted far away from the spacecraft body in which the magnetic flux is periodically switched (hence the ame flux-gate).

The International Real-time Magnetic Observatory Network, with over 100 interlinked geomagnetic observatories around the world, has been recording the Earth's magnetic field since 1991. The military determines local geomagnetic field characteristics, in order to detect anomalies in the natural background that might be caused by a significant ...
Solar wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer (SMILE) is a planned joint venture mission between the European Space Agency and the Chinese Academy of Sciences.SMILE will image for the first time the magnetosphere of the Sun in soft X-rays and UV during up to 40 hours per orbit, improving the understanding of the dynamic interaction between the solar wind and Earth's magnetosphere.
A rendering of the magnetic field lines of the magnetosphere of the Earth. In astronomy and planetary science, a magnetosphere is a region of space surrounding an astronomical object in which charged particles are affected by that object's magnetic field. [1] [2] It is created by a celestial body with an active interior dynamo.
This orbit enables observations of the magnetosphere’s response to varying solar wind conditions from the full range of vantage points over time scales encompassing all space weather phenomena. Furthermore, this orbit allows scientific return 100% of the time from at least a single instrument and up to 83% of the time from all instruments ...
Graphite is a free open-source software (FOSS) tool that monitors and graphs numeric time-series data such as the performance of computer systems. [2] Graphite was developed by Orbitz Worldwide, Inc and released as open-source software in 2008. [3] Graphite collects, stores, and displays time-series data in real time. The tool has three main ...
AMPTE-IRM, also called as AMPTE Ion Release Module, was a satellite designed and tasked to study the magnetosphere of Earth, being launched as part of the NASA Explorer program, in collaboration with ESA, and the West German Max Planck institute as part of the AMPTE (Active Magnetospheric Particle Tracer Explorers) mission.
