The Freja Satellite
|
The three elements of the F3H experiment
|
The Freja satellite was designed to give high temporal and spatial
resolution
measurements of auroral plasma characteristics and the scientific
objective was to study the interaction between the hot magnetospheric
plasma
and the topside atmosphere/ionosphere.
