The Magnetometer experiment for the Juno orbiter for Juno can be seen here on the end of a boom. The spacecraft uses two fluxgate magnetometers. (see also Magnetometer (Juno)) There are two basic types of magnetometer measurement. Vector magnetometers measure the vector components of a magnetic field.
The next stage of muon g − 2 research was conducted at the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) Alternating Gradient Synchrotron; the experiment was known as (BNL) Muon E821 experiment, [17] but it has also been called "muon experiment at BNL" or "(muon) g − 2 at BNL" etc. [7] Brookhaven's Muon g − 2 experiment was constructed from 1989 to 1996 and collected data from 1997 to 2001.
A lunar magnetometer experiment had a number of requirements that shaped its capabilities. The instrument needed to be able to operate during the lunar night since it was believed the collection of data from a full lunar rotation would be required. The instrument also needed to be able to perform its own self-calibrations on a regular cadence ...
This experiment was designed to measure accurately the vector magnetic field in the interplanetary medium and in the Earth's magnetosphere, magnetotail, and magnetosheath. The detector was a boom-mounted triaxial fluxgate magnetometer with four ranges: ± 16, 48, 144, and 432 nT, respectively. Corresponding sensitivities were ± 0.06, 0.19, 0. ...
The purpose of this experiment was to measure the magnitude and direction of the Earth's magnetic field over the spacecraft orbit. Three orthogonal components were measured by a boom-mounted biaxial magnetometer during each spacecraft revolution. Each axis had a range of plus and minus 2000 nT and an accuracy of 5 nT. The sampling rate was 3.13 ...
This experiment was designed to measure precipitating and trapped particle fluxes. Four (Cadmium sulfide) CdS-type particle detectors were used for this purpose, one at a pitch angle of 90°, one at 125° and two at 160° (one with and one without a magnetic deflection within the entrance aperture). Orientation was referred to the direction of ...
It had a caesium vapor scalar magnetometer and a fluxgate vector magnetometer. [7] CHAMP , a German satellite, made precise gravity and magnetic measurements from 2001 to 2010. [ 8 ] [ 9 ] A Danish satellite, Ørsted , was launched in 1999 and is still in operation, while the Swarm mission of the European Space Agency involves a "constellation ...
