    Lander Instruments

    ROMAP

    The Rosetta Lander Magnetometer and Plasma Monitor (ROMAP) is a multi-sensor experiment. The magnetic field is measured with a fluxgate magnetometer. An electrostatic analyzer with integrated Faraday cup measures ions and electrons. The local pressure is measured with Pirani and Penning sensors. The sensors are situated on a short boom. The deployment on the surface of a cometary nucleus demanded the development of a special digital magnetometer of little weight and small power requirements. For the first time a magnetic sensor will be operated from within a plasma sensor. A prototype of the magnetometer, named SPRUTMAG, was flown on space station MIR.

    The ROMAP experiment is developed under the leadership of the TU Braunschweig
