<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Helvetica">We are pleased to announce the release of Active Magnetosphere and Planetary Electrodynamics Response Experiment (AMPERE)* data and derived products obtained from magnetometer and supporting
data acquired by the Iridium Communications NEXT** satellite constellation in low Earth orbit. AMPERE-NEXT data and reprocessed AMPERE data are now accessible via
<a href="https://ampere.jhuapl.edu">https://ampere.jhuapl.edu</a>. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Helvetica">AMPERE-NEXT data is available from 2019 March 1 through the present, and is updated monthly. AMPERE products from the original Iridium constellation (Block-1) have also been reprocessed
with improved baseline corrections and now include 8 months of data not previously available. AMPERE Block-1 data is now provided as a continuous dataset from 2010 January 1 through 2017 September 18.
