Where to? -- in the future
 

To learn about the...

• Cause of the fine structure of the aurora
  
  
• Relationships of the aurora to other phenomena, such as field-aligned currents, electrojet currents, convection, neutral winds
  
  
• Physical mechanisms of the auroral particle acceleration and precipitation process
  
  
• Connection of various regions of aurora to outer magnetosphere
  
  
• Transfer of energy from solar wind to magnetosphere -- the generator
  
  
• Instigation of the magnetosphere to ionosphere energy discharge process
