On January 21, 1972 the Mars-3 spacecraft observed a variation in the magnetic field during its periapsis passage over the dayside of Mars that was suggestive of entry into a Martian magnetosphere. The original data and trajectory have been obtained to simulate the observed variation of the magnetic field using gasdynamics. In the gasdynamic model, a flow field is first generated and then this flowfield is used to carry the interplanetary magnetic field through the Martian magnetosheath. The independence of the flow field and magnetic field calculation allows rapid convergence on an IMF orientation which would result in a magnetic variation similar to that observed by Mar-3. There appears to be no need to invoke an entry into a Martian magnetosphere to explain these observations.
