Historical and technical context
Why this launch belongs in the archive
Existing mission record has a dated physical launch and qualified sources but did not meet the deterministic GCAT identity match threshold. This launch is retained as its own historical attempt so its date, vehicle, origin, operator, trajectory, payload, and outcome can be followed without collapsing it into a program total.
Magnetospheric Multiscale — archive:mms used Magnetospheric Multiscale spacecraft constellation from an unresolved launch site. The technical record includes the Four-spacecraft tetrahedral formation in highly elliptical Earth orbit profile. 4 payload entries are connected to the launch manifest.
