      <Description>The ﬂuxgate magnetometer experiment onboard the ROSETTA spacecraft aims to measure
the magnetic ﬁeld in the interaction region of the solar wind plasma with comet 67P/Churyumov-
Gerasimenko. It consists of a system of two ultra light (about 28 g each ) triaxial ﬂuxgate magnetometer
sensors, mounted on the 1.5 m long spacecraft boom. The measurement range of each sensor is
±16384 nT with quantization steps of 31 pT. The magnetometer sensors are operated with a time
resolution of up to 0.05 s, corresponding to a bandwidth of 0–10 Hz. This performance of the RPC-
MAG sensors allows detailed analyses of magnetic ﬁeld variations in the cometary environment. RPC-
MAG furthermore is designed to study possible remnant magnetic ﬁelds of the nucleus, measurements
which will be done in close cooperation with the ROSETTA lander magnetometer experiment ROMAP.
