    Instruments

    FGM

    Fluxgate Magnetometer

    Principal Investigator: Elizabeth Lucek, UK

    FGM

    Located on a five metre long boom to avoid interference from the spacecraft, two magnetometers measure the magnetic fields along the orbit. FGM can take high resolution measurements with up to 67 samples per second. The instrument is highly fault-tolerant, with full redundancy of all its vital functions.
