Descripción : ESA- GEOS 2 was the first spacecraft dedicated completely to scientific measurements in an equatorial geostationary orbit. The spacecraft served as a core or reference spacecraft for the International Magnetospheric Study (IMS) and carried out correlative measurements with extensive ground-based networks in Scandinavia.
Because of the importance of the magnetic field measurements, the spacecraft residual field at the magnetometer was only 0.3 nT. Except for minor modifications to certain experiments, this spacecraft and its instruments were identical to ESA-GEOS 1.
