The ISEE-C vector helium magnetometer
Abstract
The ISEE-C magnetometer will make continuous observations of the interplanetary magnetic field near 1 AU. This paper describes the scientific objectives of the magnetometer experiment and gives attention to instrument design (sensor, electronics, and operating principles). A functional block diagram of the system is presented and attention is given to minor modifications required by the ISEE mission (the magnetometer is essentially one that served as the spare unit for the Pioneer 10 and 11 missions to Jupiter).
