TARANIS
• Dedicated to understandingAtmosphere/ionosphere/magnetospherecoupling (sprites, elves, blue jets…)Microcameras + photometer -MCM- CEA (+JP)EM measurements -IEM- LPCE (+PL,TCH)
X-gamma Detector -XGD- LANL (USA), DNSC (DK)Detector of high Energy ElectronsCESR (+TCH)
• Quasi Sun Synchronous Orbit (2hrs LT drift/year)
Phase B will start in septemberLaunch expected for 2011
ILWS Uppsala, 12 june, 2007 8
TARANIS OBJECTIVES
Description
- characterization of the sprites and associated emissions, measurements of their occurrence frequency and of their distribution at the scale of the earth. (caméras, EM waves, X and spectra, high energy electrons)- study of the effects of the magnetic latitude and volcanic activity
Implied mechanisms
- determination of the nature of the triggering phenomena (cosmic radiation)- determination of the source mechanisms (EM waves, X and spectra, high energy electrons) - study of the nature of the explosive dissipation of energy in the ionosphere and magnetosphere (EM waves, X and spectra, high energy electrons)
Global impact
- determination of the effects on the upper atmosphere, ionosphere and magnetosphere (EM waves, high energy electrons, associated ground based measurements, other satellites)- evaluation of the coupling atmosphere - ionosphere - magnetosphere and inter-planetary medium

SMESE Firsts
■ First combined imaging (disk, corona) in Ly with high time resolution and sensitivity to trace the development of CMEs in the low corona + first polarimetric corona measurements,
■ First ever measurements of solar flares in the far infrared, key range for relativistic leptons and chromospheric plasma heated during flares,
■ First hard X-ray/gamma ray spectrometry at the highest energies ever attained with a solar-dedicated instrument, to study the most energetic electrons and nuclear processes in the Sun’s atmosphere.

Technical support to PHOIBOS proposal
ILWS Uppsala, 12 june, 2007 14
Data Issues
• Support from CNES to thematic data centres (CDPP, MEDOC)
• Data sets from CNES supported missions/instrument data + some others• Support to development of tools • POC: contact C. Jacquey @CDPP, K. Bocchialini @MEDOC
• Data policy for PI missions : OK for openness, rapidity on a case by case basis• quality/reliability issues• priority to the PI for use of data • matrix of access rights defined by Scientific Committee of the relevant mission
• Typicaly: Mission PI/CoIs all rights on all dataInstrument Co-Is, Guest Investigators restricted rightsPublic: access to all data after a TBD delay (6 months to 2 years)

Earth Observation as a paradigm? - a unique object, many possible instruments- curiosity driven science in competitition with monitoring science- shift from mammoth s/c (ENVISAT…) to series of small specialized satellites
A Solar Train?
