This course aims to provide an overview of NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission, focusing on the phenomenon of magnetic reconnection in space. Participants will learn about the mission's development, the significance of magnetic reconnection, and the observations made by the spacecraft. The teaching method involves presentations by a panel of MMS team members, including the Principal Investigator and research scientists. This workshop is intended for individuals interested in space exploration, magnetic fields, and the dynamics of Earth's space environment.
