| an international cooperative mission between NASA and the Argentine | |
| Commission on Space Activities (CONAE). The spacecraft is provided | |
| by Argentina and the launch vehicle and some science instruments | |
| will be provided by NASA. JPL will provide a scalar helium magnetometer | |
| and an advanced TurboRogue Global Positioning Sensor (GPS). Argentina | |
| will provide a Multispectral Medium Resolution Scanner (MMRS) | |
| and the Danish Research Institute, a Magnetic Mapping Payload | |
| (MMP).</FONT></P> | |

| the terrestrial and marine ecosystems, monitor the atmosphere | |
| temperature and water vapor,<BR> | |
| determine variability in ionospheric structure, provide for space | |
| observatory quality measurement of the geometric field, and measure | |
| the long wavelength component of the gravity field valuable to | |
| many studies including the determination of polar ice cap mass | |
| flux and oceanic circulation.</FONT></P> | |
