About
The FAST Mission contains detailed discussion of the design philosophy of a new breed of satellite to measure particles and fields in the magnetosphere.
The FAST Mission is the only publicly available resource to provide complete and authoritative documentation of the FAST satellite and instruments.
The FAST Mission contains detailed examples and descriptions of data gathered by its instruments and will thus be an invaluable source to those working with results from this new observatory.
FAST's 'snapshot' data gathering approach that utilizes an onboard computer to recognize acceleration physics events and store them in the on-board "burst memory" have revolutionized our understanding of auroral microphysics. Such unique capabilities are described in full in The FAST Mission.
The information included herein is unique and not available elsewhere. The book is intended for space physics researchers as well as satellite engineers.
