The Overhauser Effect Scalar Magnetometer is one of four instruments onboard the Oersted spacecraft. The purpose of the scalar magnetometer is to provide an in-flight, absolute calibration of the vector magnetometer, independent on environmental conditions. The measuring range of the instrument is from 16000 nT to 54000 nT with an accuracy of better than 1 nT. Rate of measurements will be 1 sample per second. Power consumption is limited to 3 W in CW mode and less than 0.5 W in stand-by mode. Weight of the instrument including electronic box is less than 2.5 kg. The scalar magnetometer is provided by Centre National d`Etudes Spatiale (CNES) in Toulouse, and developed by Laboratory for Electronics, Technology and Instrumentation (LETI) in Grenoble.
