MAGION 3

Magion 3

MAGION-3 S/C was manufactured as the subsatellite of the APEX S/C. The APEX project had the following primary objectives:

• Simulation and initiation of aurora and radio frequency radiation in the auroral area.
• Study of the dinamics of modulated beams and plasmoids in the near – earth plasma.
• Study of the nature of electrodinamic relationship of electromagnetic waves in magnetosphere and ionosphere.
• Determination of radio emission characteristics of modulated beams of charged particles and plasmoids.
• Search for non-linear wave structures of the electromagnetic soliton type in disturbed environment.

MAGION-3 scientific payload was almost the same as for MAGION-2.
