Talk:Magnetometer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Since I reached this article by way of an article on a space probe, it would seem that the description should be amended to say that a magnetometer measures magnetic fields associated with planetary objects. Perhaps a linkage to other articles about space probes would be a good idea too.

[edit] Metal detector
Isn't a Magnetometer the basis for the airport metal detectors? If so, shouldn't that be included within this article? Vegaswikian 09:10, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Magnetogram
If you're reading this article and know about magnetograms, would you be able to expand that article? Rob 17:08, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Attitude control and magnetometers
The open source apeliotes project uses 3 magnetometers mounted orthogonaly to determine an aircrafts attitude about 2 axis. While this seems obvious they don't seem to have been used to determine 2 angles in this way before. They are normally used to just determine heading, not pitch or roll.
