Magnetometer

 

 

The geomagnetic field is basically a very stable physical reference in space for a short time, as during rocket flight. To measuring the angle between rocket axis and the geomagnetic field line by a magnetometer give an attitude of the rocket for the geomagnetic field. The used magnetometer is a fluxgate magnetometer that is highly stable as a rocket payload.
