Magnetometry in Space Exploration

Article Preview

Abstract:

Magnetometry in space exploration is a field utilizing physical laws of magnetism and electromagnetism, which studies the magnetosphere of planets and their possible satellites in order to map the planetary or interplanetary magnetic fields and to extract information on the structural composition of the planets (targeting mining mapping) and the complex interactions between the plasma and the solar wind. However, in order to achieve this kind of magnetic measurements based on highly sensitive magnetometers, magnetic cleanliness must be prevailed. This makes necessary the knowledge of the magnetic field generated by potential sites within the area of spacecraft.
