- Description
ESA’s Swarm mission is dedicated to identifying and measuring precisely the different magnetic signals that make up Earth’s magnetic field. The three identical Swarm satellites are launched together on a Rockot launcher from Plesetsk in northern Russia. The Breeze-KM upper stage is equipped with a tailor-made dispenser that injects the three satellites into orbit simultaneously.
