Abstract
The design and performance of the Astrid-2 magnetometer are described. The magnetometer uses mathematical routines, implemented by software for commer cially available digital signal processors, to determine the magnetic field from the fluxgate sensor. The sensor is from the latest generation of amor phous metal sensors developed by the Department of Automation at the Techni cal University of Denmark.
