First CHAMP Mission Results for Gravity, Magnetic and Atmospheric Studies /

Show other versions (1)

In the summer of 2000 the German geo-research satellite CHAMP was launched into orbit. Its innovative payload arrangement and the low intial orbit allow CHAMP to simultaneously collect and almost continuously analyse precise data relating to gravity and magnetic fields at low altitude. In addition t...
