Concept information

Preferred term

MSS AFG  

Definition

  • The fluxgate magnetometers provide two sets of similar measurements. The fluxgates carry a permeable material that changes properties in response to the presence of magnetic fields. Measuring how they change can be correlated to strength of the field down to a half a nanotesla – typical fields in the regions of interest will be about 50 nanotesla. The AFG sensors were provided by the University of California in Los Angeles and the DFG instrumentation was provided by the Space Research Institute of the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Graz, Austria.
