It consists of a system of two ultra light (about 28 g each ) triaxial fluxgate magne- tometer sensors, mounted on the 1.5 m long spacecraft boom. The measure- ment range of each sensor is +-16384 nT with quantization steps of 31 pT. The magnetometer sensors are operated with a time resolution of up to 0.05 s, corresponding to a bandwidth of 0-10 Hz. This performance of the RPCMAG sensors allows detailed analyses of magnetic field variations in the cometary environment. RPCMAG furthermore is designed to study possible remnant magnetic fields of the nucleus, measurements which will be done in close cooperation with the ROSETTA lander magnetometer experiment ROMAP." DESCRIPTION = " This file provides an Acrobat PDF version of the RPCMAG Instrument paper. A detailed description of the instrument design and the measurements during the first Earth Flyby in March, 2005 is given. The Paper was published in Space Science Reviews."
