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. </Description> <Contact> <PersonID>spase://SMWG/Person/Karl-Heinz.Glassmeier</PersonID> <Role>PrincipalInvestigator</Role> </Contact> </ResourceHeader> <InstrumentType>Magnetometer</InstrumentType> <InvestigationName/> <ObservatoryID>spase://CDPP/Observatory/AMDA/Rosetta</ObservatoryID> </Instrument> </Spase>
