Geomagnetic Monitoring System for the International Magnetospheric Study

Abstract
This letter describes the basic instrumentation system designed for use at the North American ground stations which have been installed for the International Magnetospheric Study. The system is comprised of a triaxial fluxgate magnetometer, a microprocessor-based controller, and a Synchronous Meteorological Satellite, Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (SMS/GOES) satellite telemetry link. The network is in operation and preliminary surveys indicate about a 90-percent data recovery rate.
