Scientific paper

Several experiments that can be performed in Earth orbit with a superconducting magnet are discussed. They are divided into 2 classes, pure plasma physics experiments that can be performed in near Earth orbit and planetary magnetosphere simulation experiments that are best conducted in weak background fields distant from the Earth. The later are all based on the Minimag concept where plasma is directed toward a large dipolar magnet in Earth orbit to form a model miniature magnetosphere. Several experiments that cannot be performed in ground based laboratories and tests that cannot be made in the real magnetosphere can be carried out in Earth orbit. The creation of a miniature model of the magnetosphere (Minimag) forms the basis for several of these experiments.
