The ARTEMIS Mission

The ARTEMIS mission was initiated by skillfully moving the two outermost Earth-orbiting THEMIS spacecraft into lunar orbit to conduct unprecedented dual spacecraft observations of the lunar environment. ARTEMIS stands for Acceleration, Reconnection, Turbulence and Electrodynamics of the Moon's Interaction with the Sun. Indeed, this volume discusses initial findings related to the Moon's magnetic and plasma environments and the electrical conductivity of the lunar interior. This work is aimed at researchers and graduate students in both heliophysics and planetary physics. Originally published in Space Science Reviews, Vol. 165/1-4, 2011.

About the author

Christopher Russells war, als sein erstes Hörspiel im Jahr 1975 ausgestrahlt wurde, noch als Briefträger tätig. Seine Arbeit im öffentlichen Dienst hat er aber bald zugunsten einer Schichtdienst-Stelle aufgegeben, um mehr Zeit für das Schreiben zu haben. Seit 1980 ist er Vollzeit-Fernseh- und Radio-Drehbuchautor, und seit Kurzem auch Kinderbuchautor.
