2.2.6 spase://CDPP/Instrument/AMDA/MESSENGER/Magnetometer Magnetometer 2012-01-18T00:00:00Z The magnetometer (MAG) on MESSENGER is a three-axis ring core fluxgate magnetometer mounted on a 3.6 m boom in the anti- sunward direction. The detector sampling rate is 40 Hz and readout rates are selectable from 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, 20, or 40 Hz. Averaging intervals can be selected from 0.025 to 1 s. Digital filters provide selectable bandpassed channels of magnetic field variation. spase://SMWG/Person/Brian.J.Anderson PrincipalInvestigator MAG site at JHU_APL http://messenger.jhuapl.edu/instruments/MAG.html NSSDC Master Catalog http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/experimentDisplay.do?id=2004-030A-07 Magnetometer Magnetometer spase://CDPP/Observatory/AMDA/MESSENGER
