Abstract

CINEMA is a NASA mission of 9 spacecraft in Low-Earth Orbit, recently approved to move into development, to study the Earth's magnetic tail by detecting particles that are accelerated to the poles.  MOVIE is its conjugate Citizen Science initiative, part of which includes building out ground instruments to compliment the main mission, expected to include All-Sky Cameras, Magnetometers, and various Radio Receivers to probe the coinciding ionospheric conditions.
