Abstract
The International Magnetospheric Study (IMS) was a worldwide cooperative effort that took place during the 4 years 1976–1979. Early reports and articles describe the concept and scope of the IMS, and early summary documents and symposia have begun to report on the scientific accomplishments. Because of its vast scale and delays in the program becoming operational (e.g., ground magnetometer networks and slippage in satellite launch dates), in large measure the primary accomplishment of the IMS has been the development of a data base on an unprecedented scale. Because the primary IMS experimental programs proceeded more slowly than was initially planned, the 5‐year period 1980–1984 has been designated as the Post‐IMS Data Analysis Phase.
