NASA MMS Launches This Thursday!!!

[Needell, Jerry]

A full description of the EMFISIS Instrument on Van Allen probes can be downloaded from:

The MMS Instrument descriptions should be published soon after launch, I hope.
The FIELDS processor board on MMS is very similar to the one on Van Allen Probes.
The hardware and software for the processors for both missions were done by the same team.

Hi,

Since we're on this subject, where can I find this specific information (sw/hw specs) for reference?

Cheers,

Paulo

The FIELDS Instrument Suite on MMS also uses RTEMS (4.9.2 on a LEON3-FT FPGA) - Go MMS!

Also FYI, the EMFISIS Instrument on the Van Allen Probes (originally known as Radiation Bet Storm Probes - RBSP) mission launched in 2012 uses RTEMS (also 4.9.2 on a LEON3-FT FPGA) and has operated very successfully for the past 2 years in the Radiation Belts!
