NASA | How Will the 4 MMS Spacecraft Launch and Deploy?

The video tutorial explains the MMS mission, which studies magnetic reconnection between Earth and the Sun. It covers the launch from Cape Canaveral, the separation of stages, and the deployment of four MMS spacecraft. Each spacecraft has three types of deployments: magnetometer booms, SDP booms, and ADP booms. The spacecraft fly in a tetrahedron formation to gather 3D magnetic data.
