Swarm Science objectives and challenges
Swarm is the fifth Earth Explorer mission in ESA’s Living Planet Programme to be launched in 2009. The objective of the Swarm mission is to provide the best ever survey of the geomagnetic field and its temporal evolution. The innovative constellation concept and a unique set of dedicated instruments will provide the necessary observations that are required to separate and model the various sources of the geomagnetic field.
This will provide new insights into the Earth system by improving our understanding of the Earth’s interior and Sun-Earth connection processes.
