Aeronomy, Solar-Terrestrial Physics and Chemistry aka Space Physics

Aim of this page is to provide links to the available home pages of different satellites (see our data page for information about available data). In all cases there is no official home page, and one of the available pages has been chosen more or less arbitrarily. Note also that all the missions are not "space physics" in the sense this service defines it, and we may later on separate the more relevant (to us) projects from the others.
