Scientific paper
Appropriate options for separation strategy are discussed. Specific purposes of Regatta A measurements in the Regatta-Cluster missions are addressed: measurements on the scales several times larger than the distance between the Cluster spacecraft in the magnetotail, cusp, magnetopause, and bow shock will allow the simultaneous study of the structure of characteristic magnetospheric regions, their surrounding and their thin boundaries; providing of the background conditions for the measurements of fine structures by Cluster system; extension of the capabilities for the comprehensive study of local processes, including vector measurements of localized electric fields and currents; extension of the capabilities of three dimensional measurements at the auroral field lines and in the inner regions where the Cluster spacecrafts will be distributed mainly along the orbit, not forming a tetrahedron.
