For the measurement of the magnetic field distribution with high spatial resolution and high accuracy, the magnetic field sensing probe must be non-magnetic, but the MFM probe and sub-millimeter-meter size Hall probe use a ferromagnetic tip and block, respectively, to increase the sensitivity. To overcome this drawback, we developed a micro-size search coil magnetometer which consists of a single turn search coil, Terfenol-D actuator, scanning system, and control software. To reduce the noise generated by the stray ac magnetic field of the actuator driving coil, we employed an even function $\lambda$-H magnetostriction curve and lock-in technique. Using the developed magnetometer, we were able to measure the magnetic field distribution with a magnetic field resolution of 1 mT and spatial resolution of $0.1mm{\times}0.2mm$ at a coil vibration frequency of 1.8 kHz.

탐지코일 마그네토미터는 고감도의 교류자기장 측정용으로 많이 사용되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 센서코어의 자기소거인자를 감소시키고, 센서의 S/N ratio를 증가시키기 위하여 코어를 2개로 분리하고 각각의 코어에 코일을 권선하였으며, 코일의 연결은 차동형이 되게 하였다. 제작된 탐지코일 마그네토미터의 선형도는 0.03 % 이였으며, 감도가 9.3 mV/nT이고, 분해능은 1 Hz에서 20 pT 정도였다.

We report on development of a ground-based bi-axial Search-Coil Magnetometer (SCM) designed to measure time-varying magnetic fields associated with magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling processes. The instrument provides two-axis magnetic field wave vector data in the Ultra Low Frequency or ULF (1 mHz to 5 Hz) range. ULF waves are well known to play an important role in energy transport and loss in geospace. The SCM will primarily be used to observe generation and propagation of the subclass of ULF waves. The analog signals produced by the search-coil magnetic sensors are amplified and filtered over a specified frequency range via electronics. Data acquisition system digitizes data at 10 samples/s rate with 16-bit resolution. Test results show that the resolution of the magnetometer reaches $0.1pT/{\sqrt{Hz}}$ at 1 Hz, and demonstrate its satisfactory performance, detecting geomagnetic pulsations. This instrument is scheduled to be installed at the Korean Antarctic station, Jang Bogo, in the austral summer 2016-2017.

It is realized that the extraterrestrial matter is in ionized state, plasma, so the matter of this kind behaves as not expected because of its sensitiveness to electric and magnetic fields and its ability to carry electric currents. This kind of subtle change can be observed by an instrument for the magnetic field measurement, the magnetometer usually mounted on the rocket and the satellite, and based on the ground observatory. The magnetometer is a useful instrument for the spacecraft attitude control and the Earth's magnetic field measurements for the scientific purpose. In this paper, we present the preliminary design and the test results of the two onboard magnetometers of KARl's (Korea Aerospace Research Institute) sounding rocket, KSR­III, which will be launched during the period of 2001-02. The KSR-III magnetometers consist of the fluxgate magnetometer, MAG/AIM (Attitude Information Magnetometer) for acquiring the rocket flight attitude information, and of the search-coil magnetometer, MAG/SIM (Scientific Investigation Magnetometer) for the observation of the Earth's magnetic field fluctuations. With the MAG/AIM, the 3-axis attitude information can be acquired by the comparison of the resulting dc magnetic vector fields with the IGRF (International Geomagnetic Reference Field). The Earth's magnetic field fluctuations ranging from 10 to 1,000 Hz can also be observed with the MAG/SIM measurement.

본 논문에서는 2002년 하반기에 발사 예정인 과학로켓 3호에 탑재되어 있는 자력계의 비행모델(flight model) 제작 모델의 디지털 회로 설계와 부품선정 및 Fluxgate 자력계 AIM(Attitude Information Magnetometer)과 지구 자기장 섭동 측정용 Search-Coil 자력계 SIM(Scientific Investigation Magnetometer)의 검교정시험 수행 결과에 대해 기술하였다. 초기 설계된 자력계 디지털 회로는 자료의 샘플링 속도가 낮고, 잡음이 많이 발생되어 이를 향상시켰으며, 자료의 신뢰성을 확보하기 위해 부품 재선정 및 회로를 다시 설계하였다. 재구성이후 자력계의 디지털 검교정시험을 실시하였고, 그 결과, 최초 아날로그 검교정시험때 설정한 AIM 센서의 InT의 분해능보다 실제 측정된 분해능 값이 떨어졌음을 확인할 수 있었다. 이를 보정하기 위해 수치계산법을 이용하여 보정치와 오차값을 계산하였으며, 이 보정치들을 과학로켓 3호 발사 이후 얻어지는 자력계 자료에 적용할 예정이다.

2002년 11월에 발사된 과학로켓 KSR-111에 자세제어를 위한 정보 획득용 3축 Fluxgate 자력계 (AIM: Attitude Information Magnetometer)와 지구 자기장 섭동 측정용 Search-Coil 자력계(SIM: Scientific Investigation Magnetometer)가 탑재되었다. SIM은 지구 자기장 중 약 10～1,000Ha주파수 대의 섭동 현상을 관측한다. AIM을 통해 측정한 지구 자기장의 DC 벡터 성분을 지구 자기장의 기준 모델인 IGRF(International Geomagnetic Reference Field)와 비교하여 로켓의 위치와 비행 상태를 파악하는 프로그램 1과 KSR-Ⅲ에서 측정된 실제 데이터를 이용해 시간에 따른 회전 각의 변화를 알아보는 프로그램 2를 개발하였다. 알고리즘 개발시 자세제어의 요소로서 데이터 처리 속도, 로켓의 비행역학 등을 고려하였고, 이로 인한 오차를 감안하기 위해 최소자승법을 사용하였다. 프로그램 2를 실행하여 얻은 값으로(항우연 자료 비교분석한 결과 내용), 자력계를 로켓의 자세 제 어용으로는 부적합하나 붐(boom)이 장착된 로켓에 탑재할 경우 지구 상충의 자기장을 측정하여 분석할 수 있다. 또한 발사 전 로켓 몸체와 마운트의 자기장을 측정하여 로켓의 자기장'분포를 미리 모델링화 할 경우 자료 처리가 훨씬 용이하다.

The solar wind contributes to the formation of unique space environment called the Earth's magnetosphere by various interactions with the Earth's magnetic field. Thus the solar-terrestrial environment affects the Earth's magnetic field, which can be observed with an instrument for the magnetic field measurement, the magnetometer usually mounted on the rocket and the satellite and based on the ground observatory. The magnetometer is a useful instrument for the spacecraft attitude control as well as the Earth's magnetic field measurements for the spacecraft purpose. In this paper, we present the preliminary design and test results of the two onboard magnetometers of KARI's (Korea Aerospace Research Institute) sounding rocket, KSR-3, which will be launched four times during the period of 2001-02. The KSR-3 magnetometers consist of the fluxgate magnetometer, MAG/AIM (Attitude Information Magnetometer) for acquiring the rocket flight attitude information, and of the search-coil magnetometer, MAG/SIM (Scientific Investigation Magnetometer) for the observation of the Earth's magnetic field fluctuations. With the MAG/AIM, the 3-axis attitude information can be acquired by the comparison of the resulting dc magnetic vector field with the IGRF (International Geomagnetic Reference Field).

Jang Bogo Station (JBS), the second Korean Antarctic research station, was established in Terra Nova Bay, Antarctica ($74.62^{\circ}S$ $164.22^{\circ}E$) in February 2014 in order to expand the Korea Polar Research Institute (KOPRI) research capabilities. One of the main research areas at JBS is space environmental research. The goal of the research is to better understand the general characteristics of the polar region ionosphere and thermosphere and their responses to solar wind and the magnetosphere. Ground-based observations at JBS for upper atmospheric wind and temperature measurements using the Fabry-Perot Interferometer (FPI) began in March 2014. Ionospheric radar (VIPIR) measurements have been collected since 2015 to monitor the state of the polar ionosphere for electron density height profiles, horizontal density gradients, and ion drifts. To investigate the magnetosphere and geomagnetic field variations, a search-coil magnetometer and vector magnetometer were installed in 2017 and 2018, respectively. Since JBS is positioned in an ideal location for auroral observations, we installed an auroral all-sky imager with a color sensor in January 2018 to study substorms as well as auroras. In addition to these observations, we are also operating a proton auroral imager, airglow imager, global positioning system total electron content (GPS TEC)/scintillation monitor, and neutron monitor in collaboration with other institutes. In this article, we briefly introduce the observational activities performed at JBS and the preliminary results of these observations.
