Bartington Wins European Space Agency Contract
Bartington Instruments has been awarded a contract by the European Space Agency. Work will be carried out over two years in conjunction with the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and the National Physical Laboratory to design and build a tensor gradiometer for testing and investigating the magnetic cleanliness of satellites.This sensor is to be used as part of the LISA project (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna) and will measure low-frequency, low-amplitude variations of both the magnetic field and magnetic gradient within a spacecraft.
This innovative new sensor will satisfy strict physical and functional specifications, in terms of size, mass, power, precision and environmental specifications.
The project is due for completion in November 2011.
New MS3 Magnetic Susceptibility Meter
We have recently introduced the MS3 Magnetic Susceptibility Meter. This supercedes the MS2 instrument which has become the industry standard for this type of measurement over the last 20 years.
The new MS3 meter operates with Windows PCs, and software is available for use with the following MS2 sensors - B,C,E,G,K,H. Later this year we will be introducing software compatible with Windows Mobile so that the instrument can also be used with the D and F probes. A field computer will also be available.
All software can be downloaded from our web site.
The MS3 offers a wider measuring range than the MS2 Meter; this will benefit geoscientists and users in industrial applications.

New Mag648S Submersible Surveillance Magnetometer
The low power, low noise Mag648 sensor is now available in a submersible version. This sensor operates to a depth of 2000 metres. It is ideally suited for incorporation in multi-sensor surveillance systems for applications such as harbour defence.
See Mag648 brochure for detailed specifications.
