Digital fluxgate magnetometer for the Astrid-2 satellite
نویسندگان
چکیده
The design and performance of the Astrid-2 magnetometer are described. The magnetometer uses mathematical routines, implemented by software for commercially available digital signal processors, to determine the magnetic field from the fluxgate sensor. The sensor is from the latest generation of amorphous metal sensors developed by the Department of Automation at the Technical University of Denmark.

متن کاملThe MASCOT Magnetometer
The Mobile Asteroid Scout (MASCOT) is a small lander on board the Hayabusa2 mission of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency to the asteroid 162173 Ryugu. Among the instruments on MASCOT is a fluxgate magnetometer, the MASCOT Magnetometer (MasMag). The magnetometer is a lightweight (∼ 280 g) and low power (∼ 0.5 W) triaxial fluxgate magnetometer. Magnetic field measurements during the landing ...

A magnetometer instrument, based on a proposal submitted to the Europa Orbiter Announcement of Opportunity, is described. The primary science aim of the instrument would be to characterize the electromagnetic fields which are induced around Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. These signatures will then be interpreted in light of the internal structure of the moons. The design of the instrument consi...

INTRODUCTION The use of magnetic fields to treat disease has intrigued mankind since the time of the ancient Greeks. More recently it has been shown that electromagnetic field (EMF) treatment aids bone healing, and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) appears to be beneficial in treating schizophrenia and depression. Since external EMFs influence internal body processes, we hypot...
