The SMART Team

The MMS mission is a major scientific undertaking, involving a number of institutions in the United States as well as partners in Europe and Japan. The SMART Team is led by Southwest Research Institute, San Antonio, Texas, and consists of an Instrument Team and a Theory and Modeling Team. In addition, NASA has selected three Interdisciplinary Science (IDS) teams to participate in the mission as members of the MMS Science Working Group. The four spacecraft are being built, integrated, and tested at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Maryland, which is also responsible for mission operations. Science operatons planning and instrument command sequence development will be performed at the MMS Science Operations Center (SOC) located at the University of Colorado's Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics, Boulder, Colorado.
