NASA's Image satellite ends mission
Study of Earth's magnetic field completed
The Associated Press
Updated: 11:10 p.m. ET Jan. 21, 2006
LOS ANGELES - A NASA satellite studying Earth's magnetic field has
stopped operating after six years, the space agency said Friday.
The Image satellite, launched in 2000, successfully completed its
two-year primary mission. It continued to make observations until last
month when engineers discovered that its power supply had failed. The
satellite remains in orbit around the sun and does not pose a threat to
Earth.
Image — short for Imager for Magnetopause-to-Aurora Global Exploration —
was the first space probe to study the entire magnetosphere, an
invisible field that extends for thousands of miles beyond Earth.
The region is where space weather activity takes place. It occurs as
high-energy particles from the sun interact with Earth's magnetism. That
interaction sometimes causes shimmering auroras or satellite-damaging
radiation.
Understanding how the magnetosphere responds to energy from solar wind
has become increasingly important to scientists because such activity
can disrupt satellites, endanger astronauts and even shut down power
systems on Earth.
During Image's mission, it beamed back dozens of images, including the
first global view of a double aurora.
The $154 million Image satellite was managed by NASA's Goddard Space
Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md.

Thanks! Cool stuff! It makes one wonder why were spending all kinds of
money on manned space flights when we are getting so much good data from
the robots.
