One of the most challenging scientific requirements of MMS is to provide precise measurements of ExB flows and parallel
electric fields within and around the diffusion regions associated with reconnection. The FIELDS suite as part of the
selected SMART payload will resolve transient structures on scales down to 1 km (sampling time scales of 1-10 ms), determine
boundary orientation and motion, and detect plasma waves that play a critical role in reconnection.
The FIELDS instrumentation combines the most accurate 3D double-probe electric-field measurement yet assembled for
high-altitude missions with two precise fluxgate instruments, a set of electric and magnetic wave detectors, and a
flight-proven electron drift instrument in one integrated package in which time bases are coordinated, offsets
inter-determined, and in-flight calibration performed. This talk will describe the FIELDS instrumentation and how it will
address the critical measurements that must be performed on MMS to improve our understanding of the reconnection process.
