The Swarm satellite trio has entered the position

Executives on the ground said that they had adjusted three European satellites to the correct position on their orbit, beginning the survey of the geomagnetic field.

Since the Swarm satellite constellation of the European Space Agency (ESA) was launched into space in November last year, engineers worked hard to prepare them for positioning in Earth's orbit. .

Swarm's goal is to provide accurate information to improve people's understanding of the changing and complex magnetic curtain of the globe.

Play a vital role in life, geomagnetic fields protect us from the non-stop radiation activity of cosmic particles, as well as charged particles emanating from the sun.

In order to maximize sampling capacity, satellites are located in completely different positions, according to Space.com leading the press release from ESA.

In particular, two satellites were lowered to a height of about 462 km from the ground and located in parallel position, 145 km apart while traveling across the equator.

The third satellite is placed higher, 507km above the ground and moves near the pole.
