‣Near Earth space provides an excellent laboratory
A collisionless Shock
Length and Time Scale in Geospace
Example of the various scale lengths and time scales present in the near-Earth environment.
The smallest lengths and shortest timescales correspond to electron dynamics, followed by ion scales to eventually the fluid scales that set the context and driving conditions for the phenomena of interest.
The coupling between the various scales requires measurements at least two scales simultaneously.
State of the ArtCluster
‣First 3D plasma measurements
‣One scale at a time
‣Results highlighted need for multi-scale
‣Success of mission extension also confirming need for multiple scales in 3D
MMS
‣Access to electron scales in 3D‣Only one scale at a time
THEMIS
‣Global Sun-Earth Magnetosphere
‣Not universal cross-scale physics

Cross-Scale Mission Study•The Cross-Scale mission has been the subject of an assessment study as part of ESA’s Cosmic Vision Plan for the ESA Science Programme•Cross-Scale is an M-Class mission candidate, due for launch in 2017. •The assessment study consisted of two parallel, recently concluded, industrial studies from 2007-2009.•Science input was via a Science Study Team, comprising of a group of international scientists (Europe, Japan, US, Canada) led by Professor Steven J. Schwartz•In parallel to the industrial activities, a number of instrument teams or consortia have been working on the scientific payload elements of the mission
Cross-Scale Mission Study Baseline
• Roughly equatorial (14∘) 10 x 25 RE orbit will enable numerous opportunity to investigate:
• Shocks• Reconnection• Turbulence
• 7 ESA spacecraft, launched on Soyuz-Fregat• Spacecraft will form 2 nested tetrahedra with shared corner to sample 2 scale simultaneously:
• First year of mission•Ion-Electron scales• Second year of mission•Ion-Fluid scales
Cross-Scale Mission Study Baseline
Cross-Scale Mission Study
Two different designs
Cross-Scale Mission Study
Option 1: the spacecraft are built around a 1666 mm cylinder. Spacecraft diameter is ~2.5 m, height 50 cm
Cross-Scale Mission Study
Option 2: the spacecraft are octagonal prism structures,1.59 m in diameter and 0.98 in height

Passed Mission Design Review in January 2009
System Requirements Review at the end of Phase A will be joint with CSA (in less than 2 years time).
LoI between CSA and JAXA for the joint Phase A and SRR being drafted.
