The Magsat project was a joint NASA/United States Geological Survey (USGS)
effort to measure near-earth magnetic fields on a global basis. Objectives
included obtaining an accurate description of the earth's magnetic field,
obtaining data for use in the update and refinement of world and regional
magnetic charts, compilation of a global crustal magnetic anomaly map, and
interpretation of that map in terms of geologic/geophysical models of the
earth's crust. The spacecraft was launched into a low, near-polar, orbit by the
Scout vehicle. The basic spacecraft was made up of two distinct parts: the
instrument module that contained a vector and a scalar magnetometer and their
unique supporting gear; and the base module that contained the necessary
data-handling, power, communications, command, and attitude-control subsystems
to support the instrument module. The base module complete with its subsystems
was comprised of residual Small Astronomy Satellite (SAS-C) hardware. The
magnetometers were deployed after launch to a position 6 m behind the
spacecraft. At this distance, the influence of magnetic materials from the
instrument and base module (chiefly from the star cameras) was less than 1 nT.
