The European Space Agency (ESA) Swarm mission, launched in November 2013, continue to provide the best ever survey of the geomagnetic field and its temporal evolution. These high quality measurements of the strength, direction and variation of the magnetic field, together with precise navigation, accelerometer, electric field, plasma density and temperature measurements, are crucial for a better understanding of the Earth’s interior and its environment. This paper will provide an overview of the Swarm Instruments and data quality status and product evolution after six years of operations, focusing on the most significant payload investigations to improve science quality, data validation activities and results along with future validation/calibration plans.
