Preliminary Results of the InSight Magnetic Field Measurements

ABSTRACT

The NASA Discovery mission InSight (Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport) placed the first lander on Mars devoted to geophysics on November 26, 2018. A fluxgate magnetometer (IFG), which measures the magnetic signals in the same passband of the seismometer, is carried by InSight to help remove any signals that are observed by the highly sensitive seismometer that may be associated with magnetic activity in the environment and on the spacecraft. We will present an overview of the preliminary results measured by the InSight IFG, including much more strongly magnetized of Martian crust than model predicted, magnetic field variations caused by ionospheric current magnetic pulsations on the surface and so on.
