Magnetic Field Measurements

Rosetta-Lander S/C in the magnetic test facility

In our magnetic field simulation facility (MFSA), which is unique in Europe, we perform magnetic measurements: 

  • Compensation of the earth's magnetic field and simulation of variable artificial steady and alternating fields
  • Measurement of magnetic purity
  • Magnetisation and demagnetisation of test items
  • Measurement of dipole and multi-pole characteristics as well as of magnetic moments and eddy current fields
  • Compass safe distance testing
  • Magnetometre calibration
