Magnetic Field Experiment for the TSS Missions (TMAG)
NSSDC ID: TSS-1 -09
Mission Name: TSS-1
Principal Investigator: Prof. Franco Mariani
Description
The primary goal of this investigation is to map the magnetic fields around the satellite. The magnetic field experiment consists of two triaxial fluxgate magnetometers mounted on a fixed boom (at tip and mid- section) extending from the satellite. The magnetometer will measure alternatingly at two data rates (16 and 2 samples per second). If the tip instrument measures takes 2 samples per second than the mid-section instrument will take 16 samples per second.
Disciplines
- Space Physics: Ionospheric Studies
- Space Physics: Magnetospheric Studies
