Geotail-missie die de magnetosfeer bestudeerde is beëindigd
Na ruim 30 jaar onderzoek heeft NASA de Geotail-missie beëindigd. NASA werd hiertoe gedwongen nadat de laatste datarecorder van de ruimtesonde het had begeven.

After 30 years in orbit, mission operations for the joint NASA-JAXA #Geotail spacecraft have ended, after the failure of the spacecraft’s remaining data recorder: https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2023/sun/nasa-s-geotail-mission-operations-come-to-an-end-after-30-years - since its launch on July 24, 1992, Geotail gathered an immense dataset on the structure and dynamics of the #magnetosphere. Geotail was originally slated for a four-year run, but the mission was extended several times due to its high-quality data return, which contributed to over 1000 scientific publications.
Expected lifetime: 4 years
Actual lifespan: 30 years
