Abstract

The Wind spacecraft, launched on November 1, 1994, is a critical element in NASA’s Heliophysics System Observatory (HSO)—a fleet of spacecraft created to understand the dynamics of the Sun‐Earth system. The combination of its longevity (>25 years in service), its diverse complement of instrumentation, and high resolution and accurate measurements has led to it becoming the “standard candle” of solar wind measurements. Wind has over 55 selectable public data products with over ∼1,100 total data variables (including OMNI data products) on SPDF/CDAWeb alone. These data have led to paradigm shifting results in studies of statistical solar wind trends, magnetic reconnection, large‐scale solar wind structures, kinetic physics, electromagnetic turbulence, the Van Allen radiation belts, coronal mass ejection topology, interplanetary and interstellar dust, the lunar wake, solar radio bursts, solar energetic particles, and extreme astrophysical phenomena such as gamma‐ray bursts. This review introduces the mission and instrument suites then discusses examples of the contributions by Wind to these scientific topics that emphasize its importance to both the fields of heliophysics and astrophysics.
四分之一世纪的风飞船发现
Wind航天器于1994年11月1日发射,是美国国家航空航天局太阳物理系统天文台(HSO)的关键组成部分,该天文台是一支旨在了解太阳-地球系统动力学的航天器舰队。其使用寿命(超过25年)、仪器的多样性以及高分辨率和精确的测量使其成为太阳风测量的“标准蜡烛”。仅在SPDF/CDAWeb上,Wind就有超过55个可选择的公共数据产品,总数据变量(包括OMNI数据产品)就超过1100个。这些数据导致了统计太阳风趋势、磁重联、大规模太阳风结构、动力学物理学、电磁湍流、范艾伦辐射带、日冕物质抛射拓扑、行星际和星际尘埃、月球尾流、太阳射电暴、太阳高能粒子、,以及伽马射线暴等极端天体物理现象。这篇综述介绍了任务和仪器套件,然后讨论了Wind对这些科学主题的贡献,这些主题强调了Wind在太阳物理学和天体物理学领域的重要性。
