| 88 | University of California, Berkeley | Berkeley, CA, 94720-7450 CINEMA IIPrimary mission is scientific research into the dynamics of the Earth’s magnetospheric ring current by stereo imaging of remote suprathermal plasmas through the energetic neutral atoms produced by charge exchange with Earth’s neutral atmosphere, and by multipoint in situ measurements of precipitating ions and electrons plus magnetic fields. The secondary focus is the technology demonstration of the SupraThermal Electron, Ion, Neutral (STEIN) detector and the magneto-resistive magnetometers for scientific research.
