2 Q: How do we meet the science goals?
The Problem Short boom Minimum 1.5m Maximum 3m Due to mass and thermal/mechanical stability considerations Magnetically ‘dirty’ spacecraft Magnetics shall not be a design or cost driver for the spacecraft Planetary magnetic field determination requires high accuracy magnetometer measurements Q: How do we meet the science goals?

5 Instrument Performance
Meeting the science goals: The magnetometer shall have an accuracy of 1nT The DC part of the spacecraft field shall be low enough to allow operation of the magnetometer in its most sensitive operating range The stability of the spacecraft magnetic field is the most critical parameter BepiColombo MPO Magnetic Cleanliness C.

12 The Dual Magnetometer Method
…for determination of spacecraft fields Principle Two radially separated magnetometers plus Knowledge of location on the spacecraft of the disturbing source allows Estimate strength of the disturbing field Original technique Ness et al. (1971) Successful application to Double Star BepiColombo MPO Magnetic Cleanliness C. Carr & A. Balogh. February 2005

13 Dual Magnetometer: Application to Double Star
U. Auster, K.-H. Fornacon, E. Georgescu IGeP TU-BS Magnetic disturbances: Signals at the spin frequency and harmonics Source: solar panels Sudden shifts in the DC ‘background’ field from the spacecraft Source: current loops – power distribution BepiColombo MPO Magnetic Cleanliness C. Carr & A. Balogh. February 2005

14 Dual Magnetometer: Application to Double Star
Eclipse Field generated by current loop Field generated by solar arrays Dual Magnetometer: Application to Double Star Approach De-spin the data Average data over spin-period Result: interference signals are reduced to ‘offsets’ These offsets are unknown, and change with the spacecraft power modes Remove remaining offsets using weighted differences between sensors Modified dual-magnetometer method Evaluate any residual offsets using traditional calibration techniques Result: Accuracy of this spin-averaged data is comparable to the equivalent Cluster magnetometer data BepiColombo MPO Magnetic Cleanliness C. Carr & A. Balogh. February 2005

17 Automatic Correction with Neural Network
Cooperation with Univ. of Kosice (Slovakia) Basic idea: Event-pattern recognition & correction by neural network Two sensors are needed -> use difference of change as indicator for event of SC-origin bscx1, bobsx2- bobsx1 bscz1, bobsz2- bobsz1 bscy1, bobsy2- bobsy1 time t1 time t2 Neural network “learns” characteristic pattern of event from measurements at two sensors e.g. from MC - measurements on Earth from magnetometer measurements during commissioning phase BepiColombo MPO Magnetic Cleanliness C. Carr & A. Balogh. February 2005

18 Neural Network Tested with Double Star data
Test of method with real in-flight data: Double Star data (TC-1) before correction Recognize jumps > 1 nT Correct data -> difference disappears after correction: diff < 1 nT Difference in Btotal at 2 sensors BepiColombo MPO Magnetic Cleanliness C. Carr & A. Balogh. February 2005

19 Double Star / Venus Express: Lessons for BepiColombo
