| Data Set Abstract |
The main objective of the Giotto Magnetometer Experiment is the
investigation of the interaction between Comet Halley and the
solar wind at a distance of 0.9 AU from the Sun, to within 500 km
of the cometary nucleus. A second objective is the study of the
interplanetary magnetic field. The instrumentation consists of a
triaxial and a separate biaxial system of fluxgate sensors of the
ring-core type, the associated analogue electronics and a digital
processor. The measuring ranges of +/- 16 nT, +/- 64 nT, etc., up
to +/- 65536 nT are digitis- ed by a 12-bit analogue-to-digital
converter, allowing a sampling rate of 28.24 vectors per second
at encounter. Memory modes allow the bridging of gaps in
telemetry coverage of up to ten days. The total mass of the
instrument is 1360 g and its power consumption 820 mW. |
