CHAllenging Mini-Satellite Payload	Permalink

The CHAllenging Mini-Satellite Payload (CHAMP) is used for geophysical research and application. This mission is scheduled to last five years in order to provide a sufficiently long observation time to resolve long-term temporal variations primarily in the magnetic field, in the gravity field and within the atmosphere. CHAMP was launched on 15 July 2000. Read more __________________
