Scientific paper

The dual technique magnetometer to fly on the Cassini Saturn Orbiter Spacecraft is described. The instrument combines two separate techniques of measuring the magnetic field in space using both fluxgate and vector helium devices. In addition, the instrument can be operated in a special scalar mode which is to be used near the planet for highly accurate determination of the interior field of the planet. As well as the planetary field, the instrument will make large contributions to the scientific measurements of the planetary magnetosphere, the highly electrically conducting region of space surrounding Saturn permeated by the Saturnian field, the interaction of Saturn and the interplanetary medium and the interaction of Titan with its space environment.
