Bartington’s Mag566 Magnetometers are going to the Moon!
Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab has been selected to build a lander and rover for a mission destined to land on the moon. The mission, Lunar Vertex is aiming to investigate Reiner Gamma ‘swirls’ on the surface of the moon. The mission includes a rover that will travel over the swirl and measure the magnetic field which include a gradiometer array built using Bartington’s Mag566 three-axis fluxgate magnetometers.
The rover has now successfully completed its testing phase. Launch is…
