Also known as Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms, MIDEX 5
Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms (THEMIS) mission began in February 2007 as a constellation of five NASA satellites (THEMIS-A through THEMIS-E) to study energy releases from Earth's magnetosphere known as substorms, magnetic phenomena that intensify auroras near Earth's poles. The name of the mission is an acronym alluding to the Titan Themis.

THEMIS（テミス）は、アメリカ航空宇宙局 (NASA) の観測衛星。（オーロラ嵐）の引き金となる現象を調べる。名称は Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms の頭字語。 地球磁気圏内に散らばった5機の衛星群が、サブストームの開始位置とその引き金となる過程を調査する。また、衛星軌道上での観測と共に北アメリカ20カ所の基地からオーロラを観測する。5機の衛星のうち、地球磁気圏で観測を続けているのは3機である。残りの2機は、月の近くの軌道に移され ARTEMIS（アルテミス; Acceleration, Reconnection, Turbulence and Electrodynamics of the Moon’s Interaction with the Sun）と改称された。 衛星はにより製造された。地上基地の業務は、カリフォルニア大学宇宙科学研究所（Space Sciences Laboratory）による。
