Summary
| Description |
English: Unlike the other instruments, the magnetometer sensors are not attached to the main body of the spacecraft. Instead, each one of the two sensors sits at opposite ends of the spacecraft. This placement ensures that the data generated from the magnetometer sensors will not be "polluted" by magnetic signals from the spacecraft system. [Please Note: This information was originally describing the Mars Global Surveyor instrument. However, due to the complications with Mars Observer, the same instrument was used in the later spacecraft.] |
