AMPTE/UKS Magnetometer

The objective of this investigation was to study the magnetic fields in the near Earth environment. The instrument consisted of a three-axis orthogonal fluxgate magnetometer with ring core sensors. It was a refurbished ISEE 1/2 flight spare. One of the two possible ranges, plus and minus 256 or 8192 nT, could be selected by ground command. The accuracy of the instrument was plus or minus 1 nT per axis in the high range and plus or minus 0.03 nT in the low range.

本项研究的目的是探讨近地空间中的磁场。该设备由一个配备环形磁芯传感器的三轴正交霍尔磁强计构成，该磁强计为一台翻新后的ISEE 1/2 飞行备件。通过地面指令，可选择两个量程之一，分别为±256 nT 或 ±8192 nT。在高量程范围内，该仪器的精度为每轴±1 nT，而在低量程范围内，精度为±0.03 nT。欲了解更多详细信息，请参阅D.J. Southwood等人的作品，发表在《IEEE地球科学与遥感学报》（IEEE Transaction on Geoscience and Remote Sensing）第23卷第301页，1985年。
