GIOTTO MAGNETOMETER 8 SECOND DATA V1.0
Listed in NASA Data Portal
The main objective of the Giotto Magnetometer Experiment is the investigation of the interaction between Comet Halley and the solar wind at a distance of 0.9 AU from the Sun, to within 500 km of the cometary nucleus.
Description
A second objective is the study of the interplanetary magnetic field. The instrumentation consists of a triaxial and a separate biaxial system of fluxgate sensors of the ring-core type, the associated analogue electronics and a digital processor.
The measuring ranges of +/- 16 nT, +/- 64 nT, etc., up to +/- 65536 nT are digitis- ed by a 12-bit analogue-to-digital converter, allowing a sampling rate of 28.24 vectors per second at encounter. Memory modes allow the bridging of gaps in telemetry coverage of up to ten days. The total mass of the instrument is 1360 g and its power consumption 820 mW.
