2.4.1 spase://CNES/Instrument/CDPP-AMDA/Rosetta/MAG MAG Fluxgate Magnetometer 2017-01-01T21:10:13Z 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. spase://SMWG/Person/Karl-Heinz.Glassmeier PrincipalInvestigator Magnetometer spase://CNES/Observatory/CDPP-AMDA/Rosetta
