Prognoz 9 Magnetic Field Data

ResourceID
spase://NASA/NumericalData/Prognoz9/MAG/PT10S

Description

Magnetic field data obtained in the outer magnetosphere and in the solar wind by Prognoz 9 between 1983/07/02 and 1984/02/10.
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.
