Calibration methods and results of the in-situ experiments on Cluster and Double Star
Editor(s): H. Laakso, C.-P. Escoubet, A. Masson, and M. Taylor
The Cluster Active Archive of ESA has invested a significant amount of resources in order to calibrate all high-resolution measurements collected by a large number of in-situ experiments on board Cluster and Double Star spacecraft. This is the first time that any space agency tries to do this. Therefore plenty of new in-flight calibration techniques have been developed in years, and plenty of new results on long-term evolution of calibration parameters have been obtained. Contributions from this area are invited to this special issue.
