| dc.description.abstract | The magnetometer instrument on the Solar Orbiter mission is designed to measure the magnetic field local to the spacecraft continuously for the entire mission duration. The need to characterise not only the background magnetic field but also its variations on scales from far above to well below the proton gyroscale result in challenging requirements on stability, precision, and noise, as well as magnetic and operational limitations on both the spacecraft and other instruments. The challenging vibration and thermal environment has led to significant development of the mechanical sensor design. The overall instrument design, performance, data products, and operational strategy are described. | en_US |
| dc.description.sponsorship | The Solar Orbiter magnetometer was funded by the UK Space Agency (grant ST/T001062/1). We gratefully acknowledge the work of all the engineers who supported the instrument development but have since left Imperial College as well as the support of the engineering and technical staff at Airbus Space and the European Space Agency during the Solar Orbiter project. Helios data were provided by NASA’s NSSDC. This paper is dedicated to the memory of Trevor Beek, Lawrence Soung Yee and Andy Breen. | en_US |
