Swarm (spacecraft)
Swarm is a European Space Agency (ESA) mission to study the Earth's magnetic field.
The Swarm concept consists of a constellation of three satellites in three different polar orbits between 450 and 550 km altitude.
The launch is currently planned for mid-November 2013; in 2010, ESA awarded the contract to Eurockot.
