The Galileo Orbiter carries a fluxgate magnetometer designed to provide the sensitive measurements required for the structure and dynamical variations of the Jovian magnetosphere. The magnetometer is described in terms of measurements of the dc and low-frequency magnetic field. The instrument has two boom-mounted, three-axis sensor assemblies. Flipper mechanics are included in each sensor assembly for the purpose of offset calibration. The microprocessor-controlled-data-handling system produces calibrated despun data that can be used directly without further processing. A memory system stores data for those periods when the spacecraft telemetry is not active. This memory system can also be used for storing high time-resolution snap shots of data.
