Mission Name: Luna 1The space probe Luna 1 carried a triaxial fluxgate magnetometer comprised of three separate single-axis instruments using separate drive frequencies and power supplies. The dynamic range of the sensors was -3000 to +3000 gammas, which, with the two-channel five-bit equivalent digitization of the telemetry system and the 600-gamma/V sensitivity, led to a quantization uncertainty of -47 to +47 gammas. No results were reported by the lunar flyby portion of the trajectory, and only the near-earth results have been discussed in the literature.
