Instrument Overview
===================
The Giotto Magnetometer Experiment consisted of a triaxial and separate
biaxial system of fluxgate sensors of the ring-core type, the
associated analog electronics and a digital processor. Because of the
dust hazard near closest approach to comet 1P/Halley (the target of the
original Giotto mission), a magnetometer boom could not be included in
the spacecraft design. The resulting magnetic contamination problem
was addressed by the use of the two magnetometers and by a magnetic
cleanliness program.
For details on the instrument design and operation, see the article
from ESA publication SP-1077 specifically concerning the magnetometer.
