 Spacecraft
The main scientific goal of the mission is to measure the mass, momentum and energy of the solar wind that somehow is transferred into the space environment around the Earth.
Although much has been learned from previous space missions about the general nature of this huge transfer, it is necessary to gather a great deal of detailed information from several strategic regions of space around the Earth before scientists understand the ways in which the planet's atmosphere responds to changes in the solar wind.
Later in the mission, the Wind spacecraft will be inserted into a special halo orbit in the solar wind upstream from the Earth, at the unique distance which allows Wind to always remain between the Earth and the Sun (about 930,000 to 1,050,000 miles, or 1,500,000 to 1,690,000 kilometers, from the Earth).

The Apollo guidance, control and navigation system was designed by Draper Laboratory (nee the MIT Instrumentation Laboratory) during the mid to late '60's, but was the legacy of a series of earlier studies of Mars photographic reconnaissance missions which had been sponsored by the Air Force Ballistic Missile Division.
It is particularly well suited for use as a control element in applications which require operation in stressed environments, which require a computer of high reliability, and which call for equipment of small size, low weight, and low power consumption.
The key to the mission is the use of lunar rendezvous, which greatly reduces the size of the booster needed at the earth.
