Everything about Polar Satellite totally explained
The Global Geospace Science (GGS)
Polar Satellite is a
NASA science
spacecraft launched at 06:23:59.997 EST on
February 24 1996 aboard a
McDonnell Douglas Delta II 7925-10 rocket from launch pad 2W at
Vandenberg Air Force Base in
Lompoc,
California, to observe the polar
magnetosphere. Polar was designed and manufactured by
Lockheed Martin Astro Space Division in
East Windsor,
New Jersey.
Polar is in a highly elliptical, 86 degree orbital
inclination with an
orbital period of about 18 hours. It gathers multi-wavelength imaging of the
aurora, and measures the entry of
plasma into the polar magnetosphere and the
geomagnetic tail, the flow of plasma to and from the
ionosphere, and the deposition of
particle energy in the ionosphere and upper
atmosphere.
Polar Mission Operations were terminated at 14:54:41 EDT on April 28th, 2008 from the WIND/POLAR Mission Operations Room (MOR) in Building 3 at
Goddard Space Flight Center in
Greenbelt, Maryland.
Polar is the sister ship to
GGS Wind.
