The magnetospheric multiscale mission (MMS) consists of four identical spacecraft used to collect data on the interaction between the Sun and Earth’s magnetic fields and study how the various interactions govern the dynamics of phenomena such as plasmas and particle movement. Here, the authors analyse MMS data on charge distribution, showing that there is a separation of charge on the dawn and dusk sectors of the inner magnetosphere.
