ASPIICS / PROBA-3 formation flying externally-occulted giant coronagraph mission
Résumé
During the time operation of the Helios mission, from 1974 to metricconverterProductID1986, a1986, a large number of magnetic clouds was identified by the magnetic field and solar wind sensors onboard the probes. Among these magnetic clouds, some of them were identified by at least two probes, provided that IMP-8 and ISEE-3 were monitoring the dayside magnetosphere. The magnetic cloud observed on from DOY 029 to DOY 030/1977 by Helios 1, Helios 2, and IMP-8 represents a potential multi-spacecraft observed magnetic cloud. Despite the interaction with the high-speed stream that compressed the magnetic cloud, the minimum variance analysis technique showed the same direction of rotation of the magnetic field inside the magnetic cloud. This helped to associate the observation of the magnetic cloud at multi-spacecraft.
