The Global Geospace Science GGS Wind satellite is a NASA science spacecraft designed to study radio waves and plasma that occur in the solar wind and in the Earth's magnetosphere. It was launched on 1 November 1994 at 09:31:00 UTC from launch pad LC-17B at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station CCAFS in Merritt Island Florida aboard a McDonnell Douglas Delta II 7925-10 rocket. Wind was designed and manufactured by Martin Marietta Astro Space Division in East Windsor Township New Jersey. The satellite is a spin-stabilized cylindrical satellite with a diameter of 2.4 m 7 ft 10 in and a height of 1.8 m 5 ft 11 in. The spacecraft's original mission was to orbit the Sun at the L1 Lagrangian point but this was delayed to study the magnetosphere and near lunar environment when the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory SOHO and Advanced Composition Explorer ACE spacecraft were sent to the same location. Wind has been at L1 continuously since May 2004 and is still operating as of 2024. As of 2024 Wind currently has enough fuel to last over 50 more years at L1 until at least 2070. Wind continues to collect data and by the end of 2023 had contributed data to over 7290 scientific publications. Mission operations are conducted from the Multi-Mission Operations Center MMOC in Building 14 at Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt Maryland. Wind data can be accessed using the SPEDAS software. Wind is the sister ship to GGS Polar. The aim of the International Solar-Terrestrial Physics Science Initiative is to understand the behavior of the solar-terrestrial plasma environment in order to predict how the Earth's atmosphere will respond to changes in solar wind conditions. Wind's objective is to measure the properties of the solar wind before it reaches the Earth. Provide complete plasma energetic particle and magnetic field input for magnetospheric and ionospheric studies; Determine the magnetospheric output to interplanetary space in the up-stream region; Investigate basic plasma processes occurring in the near-Earth solar wind; and Provide baseline ecliptic plane observations to be used in heliospheric latitudes by the Ulysses mission. The Wind spacecraft has an array of instruments including: KONUS the Magnetic Field Investigation MFI the Solar Wind and Suprathermal Ion Composition Experiment SMS The Energetic Particles: Acceleration Composition and Transport EPACT investigation the Solar Wind Experiment SWE a Three-Dimensional Plasma and Energetic Particle Investigation 3DP the Transient Gamma-Ray Spectrometer TGRS and the Radio and Plasma Wave Investigation WAVES. The KONUS and TGRS instruments are primarily for gamma-ray and high energy photon observations of solar flares or gamma-ray bursts and part of the Gamma-ray Coordinates Network. The SMS experiment measures the mass and mass-to-charge ratios of heavy ions. The SWE and 3DP experiments are meant to measure/analyze the lower energy below 10 MeV solar wind protons and electrons. The WAVES and MFI experiments were designed to measure the electric and magnetic fields observed in the solar wind. All together the Wind spacecraft's suite of instruments allows for a complete description of plasma phenomena in the solar wind plane of the ecliptic.

Greenbelt MD: National Aeronautics and Space Administration Goddard Space Flight Center 1995. Pre-publication version since Fact Sheet number is not provided. Stapled at upper left corner. Very good. Two sheets printed on both sides totaling 4 pages. Illustrations primarily on pages 1 and 3 with small one on page 2. The Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer RXTE was a NASA satellite that observed the time variation of astronomical X-ray sources named after physicist Bruno Rossi. The RXTE had three instruments — an All-Sky Monitor the High-Energy X-ray Timing Experiment HEXTE and the Proportional Counter Array. The RXTE observed X-rays from black holes neutron stars X-ray pulsars and X-ray bursts. It was funded as part of the Explorer program and was also called Explorer 69. RXTE had a mass of 7100 lbs. and was launched from Cape Canaveral on 30 December 1995 at 13:48:00 UTC on a Delta II launch vehicle. Its International Designator is 1995-074A. Among the topics addressed include X-Ray Timing Explorer XTE Scientific Instruments Space Science All Sky Monitor Spacecraft Astrophysics Compact Objects Binary Star Systems White Dwarfs Neutron Stars Stellar-mass Black Holes Explorer 69 and the Proportional Counter Array. The X-Ray Timing Explorer XTE mission has the primary objective to study the temporal and broad-band spectral phenomena associated with stellar and galactic systems containing compact objects in the energy range 2--200 KeV and in time scales from microseconds to years. The scientific instruments consists of two pointed instruments the Proportional Counter Array PCA and the High-Energy X-ray Timing Experiment HEXTE and the All Sky Monitor ASM which scans over 70% of the sky each orbit. All of the XTE observing time were available to the international scientific community through a peer review of submitted proposals. XTE used a new spacecraft design that allows flexible operations through rapid pointing high data rates and nearly continuous receipt of data at the Science Operations Center SOC at Goddard Space Flight Center via a Multiple Access link to the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System TDRSS. XTE was highly maneuverable with a slew rate of greater than 6° per minute. The PCA/HEXTE could be pointed anywhere in the sky to an accuracy of less than 0.1° with an aspect knowledge of around 1 arcminute. Rotatable solar panels enable anti-sunward pointing to coordinate with ground-based night-time observations. Two pointable high-gain antennas maintain nearly continuous communication with the TDRSS. This together with 1 GB approximately four orbits of on-board solid-state data storage give added flexibility in scheduling observations. Observations from the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer have been used as evidence for the existence of the frame-dragging effect predicted by the theory of general relativity of Einstein. RXTE results have as of late 2007 been used in more than 1400 scientific papers. In January 2006 it was announced that Rossi had been used to locate a candidate intermediate-mass black hole named M82 X-1. In February 2006 data from RXTE was used to prove that the diffuse background X-ray glow in our galaxy comes from innumerable previously undetected white dwarfs and from other stars' coronae. In April 2008 RXTE data was used to infer the size of the smallest known black hole. RXTE ceased science operations on 12 January 2012.
