Aunque normalmente no lo notamos, el campo magn\u00e9tico de la Tierra es muy importante, ya que nos protege de las peligrosas tormentas solares y la radiaci\u00f3n espacial. Sin \u00e9l, \u00a1no existir\u00eda la vida en el planeta! Para medir esta fuerza magn\u00e9tica con m\u00e1s precisi\u00f3n que nunca, la ESA se prepara para poner en \u00f3rbita una misi\u00f3n especial llamada Swarm.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Swarm es una constelaci\u00f3n de tres sat\u00e9lites que se situar\u00e1n en tres \u00f3rbitas polares diferentes a altitudes que oscilar\u00e1n entre los 400 y los 550 km.
