Transcription: Astronauts used unique space physics instruments to investigate the relationship between the Earth's magnetic field and its atmosphere. These tools were a major part of the mission's plasma experiments. Electron and plasma beams were injected into space plasma to study aurora, the solar magnetic storms visible as showers of vividly colored lights at the North and South Poles. Auroras affect telecommunications and spacecraft electronics. The space plasma Some investigations were designed to further understand the effects of solar activities on communications, space technology and Earth's weathe ...
