Description: To follow on ebay... in my Shop "AmidesLivres"a very nice set of photographs in Argentic print and various printed documentsfrom personal archive of a high-level French aeronautical engineer,who was one of the leaders of the "Cluster" scientific mission in 1995 (for the satellite part) Cluster (satellite) Domain: Study of the Earth's magnetosphere Cluster is a mission of the European Space Agency (ESA) which uses four satellites to study the interactions between the solar wind and the Earth's magnetosphere. After the destruction of the satellites during the failure of the maiden flight of Ariane 5 in 1996,these will be rebuilt identically and launched in the year 2000 (Launcher: Soyuz / Fregat - Baikonur) . The mission, which initially lasted two years, was extended several times and still continues.The four identical satellites, weighing approximately 1,200 kg, fly in a pyramidal formation in a highly elliptical high polar orbit, which makes it possible to study in three dimensions the complex physical phenomena that take place in the regions located at the boundary of the magnetosphere on which abuts the solar wind. Each satellite carries eleven instruments including a magnetometer, one instrument for measuring the electric field, five instruments for wave measurements and three instruments for particle measurements.The mission, together with SoHO, which is devoted to the study of the solar wind and the Sun, is one of the four cornerstones of the European Space Agency's Horizon 2000 scientific programme. -We sell here, a important series of photographs showing the various stages (transport of equipment, tests, assembly) of the construction of satellitesbetween September 13 and 23, 1995 As a reminder, these satellites have all been destroyed on launch failure the Ariane 501 rocket, June 4, 1996Please note, I only owna single copyof each of the photos sold here!!- -Scientific mission CLUSTER[79] Argentic print in period colorsOn Agfa paperPhotograph (approx.) 18x12.5 cm.
