The Cluster is providing the first opportunity to determine the three-dimensional, time-dependent characteristics of the small-scale processes and structures in the near-Earth space plasma, both in the magnetosphere and in the nearby interplanetary medium.

Cluster mission is an European Space Agency (ESA) unmanned space mission mission to study the Earth's magnetosphere using four identical spacecraft flying in a tetrahedral formation. Scientific instruments onboard the four spacecraft have been sending back excellent data that form a rich resource for the study of the complex processes that shape the space environment of the Earth.

Cluster reveals fundamental 3-D properties of magnetic turbulence
http://sci.esa.int/science-e/www/object … ctid=38841
24 Feb 2006
Fundamental 3-D properties of magnetic turbulence observed in the magnetosheath are reported, thanks to measurements by ESA's Cluster mission close to the magnetopause. These properties are of prime importance to model magnetic turbulence in the magnetosheath, which plays a key role in the dynamical coupling between the solar wind and the magnetosphere. Their consequences are also relevant to astrophysical and laboratory plasmas. This new scientific breakthrough on magnetic turbulence by Cluster is published today, 24 February 2006, in Physical Review Letters.
