The magnetic field experiments MISCHA carried four fluxgate sensors, with three sensors mounted on a boom at the end of the solar panels and the fourth sensor mounted one meter closer. During the cruise phase, the TRASSA-1 mode of the instrument (1 vector/2.5 min) was used. The sensors were switched to the TRASSA-2 mode (1 vector/min) during the flyby which started roughly two days before the encounter. From 3 h before closest approach (CA) until 1 hour after CA, the HS-mode (1 vector/6s) and the DT-mode (1 vector/100ms) was used [DELVAETAL1991].", "identifier": "urn:nasa:pds:context_pds3:data_set:data_set.vega1-c-mischa-3-rdr-halley-v1.0;urn:nasa:pds:context_pds3:data_set:data_set.vega1-c-mischa-3-rdr-halley-v1.0::1.0", "keyword": ["__"], "license": "https://www.usa.gov/government-works", "modified": "2026-04-06", "programCode": ["026:000"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "Small Bodies"}, "theme": ["Planetary Science"], "title": "VEGA1 HALLEY FLYBY MAGNETOMETER DATA"}
