The objective of this investigation was to study the magnetic fields in the near Earth environment. The instrument consisted of a three-axis orthogonal fluxgate magnetometer with ring core sensors. It was a refurbished ISEE 1/2 flight spare. One of the two possible ranges, plus and minus 256 or 8192 nT, could be selected by ground command. The accuracy of the instrument was plus or minus 1 nT per axis in the high range and plus or minus 0.03 nT in the low range.
