Prognoz 6 Magnetic Field Data

ResourceID
spase://NASA/NumericalData/Prognoz6/MAG/PT10S

Description

Magnetic field data obtained in the outer magnetosphere and in the solar wind by Prognoz 6 between 1977/09/26 and 1978/01/22.
The data were obtained by an SG-70 fluxgate magnetometer provided by IZMIRAN's Space Magnetic Research Laboratory. The magnetometer had a range of +/- 60 nT and an accuracy of about 0.3 nT. It made one vector measurement every 10.24 sec.
