Program: Cluster 2


Following the loss of the Cluster satellites with Ariane 501 a remplacement was financed. It is composed of the Phenix satellite made from spare instruments of the first set and 3 new satellites. The satellites were launched by pairs aboard Soyouz rockets.

The program was completed in mid-2000 for approx $265 million.

The program was extended 3 years (2005) and then another 4 years (2009).
