Magnetometer payload setup. All instruments of the magnetometer payload are mounted on a deployable boom, with the vector field magnetometer (VFM) and the star tracker (STR) assembly sharing a common rigid optical bench and the absolute scalar magnetometer (ASM) mounted 2 m away, at the tip of the boom.
