The UCR 10.9 m long T-1 terrella facility models collisionless hypermagnetosonic solar wind interaction with a planetary dipole field. Measurements demonstrate that T-1 has achieved all parameters necessary for limited simulation of the solar wind-earth interaction. The test time is significantly longer than existing experiments. The first magnetic field map is consistent with Dungey's model in the case of a southward IMF.
