description TRACERS Overview
TRACERS is a NASA Explorer mission consisting of two small satellites designed to study magnetic reconnection in Earth's magnetosphere. The mission focuses on the northern polar cusp, a region where the solar wind can interact directly with magnetic field lines connected to Earth. By observing this process with two spacecraft, TRACERS is intended to improve understanding of how energy and particles move through near-Earth space and contribute to auroral and space-weather phenomena.
