In order to reach the new horizon of the space physics research, the Plasma Universe, via in‐situ measurements in the Earth’s magnetosphere, SCOPE will perform formation flying observations combined with high‐time resolution electron measurements. The simultaneous multi‐scale observations by SCOPE of various plasma dynamical phenomena will enable data‐based study of the key space plasma processes from the cross‐scale coupling point of view. Key physical processes to be studied are magnetic reconnection under various boundary conditions, shocks in space plasma, collisionless plasma mixing at the boundaries, and physics of current sheets embedded in complex magnetic geometries. The SCOPE formation is made up of 5 spacecraft and is put into the equatorial orbit with the apogee at 30 Re (Re: earth radius). One of the spacecraft is a large mother ship which is equipped with a full suite of particle detectors including ultra‐high time resolution electron detector. Among other 4 small spacecraft, one remains nea... |
