Within the AIT-process the verification of magnetic cleanliness requirements is an essential pre-requisite to ensure mission success, especially for satellites with dedicated magnetic mission objectives. Magnetic cleanliness verification usually comprises a combination of analytical and experimental methods. Based on mag- netic measurements performed on equipment level, the magnetic behaviour on system level may be assessed by applying analytical and numerical methods and models. However, experience from many space projects such as CLUSTER, HUYGENS, ODIN, CHAMP and GRACE, has proven that high-precision magnetic measurements on system level are still a "must" for space hardware in its final flight configuration to verify magnetic cleanli- ness. After more than 30 years of continuous and errorless operation, the magnetic test facility at IABG (MFSA) - unique in its kind and measurement capabilities in Europe and included in the pool of space test facilities co-ordinated by ESA- has been refurbished in 2002/2003. One of the main aspects of this modernisa- tion was the replacement of the current amplifiers of the active control system, which governs the accuracy and resolution of all magnetic measurements to be per- formed in the facility. Therefore the current amplifier hardware has to fulfil stringent requirements with re- spect to noise characteristics, resolution and thermal stability. This implied a complete update of the elec- tronic design of the amplifiers. In the paper performance-relevant details of the refur- bishment will be presented and discussed.
