Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The Space Research Institute (SRI) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences took part in the MAREMF experiment (MARtian Electrons and Magnetic Field) which consisted of a dual fluxgate magnetometer (MAREMF-OS and MAREMF-IS) and a 3D electron spectrometer (MAREMF-ES). MAREMF was part of the payload of the Russian MARS-96 mission which failed half an hour after launch. Digital electronics and hardware of the MAREMF-OS (OS stands for outer sensor) magnetometer were developed at the SRI. Due to the expected temperature conditions during cruise phase and the orbit around Mars, an improved low-field temperature test facility for magnetic field sensors was constructed at the Magnetometer Laboratory of the SRI. It can carry out test and calibration measurements for magnetic field sensors within a temperature range of plus or minus 150\0\C. The facility is now being used for the development and calibration of a new generation of magnetic field sensors for the ROSETTA mission to comet P/Wirtanen. (Original abstract - amended)
