Magnetic field measurements onboard the INTERBALL AURORAL spacecraft. Magnetic field measurements onboard the INTERBALL-2 (Auroral Probe) is carried out by the IMAP-3 instrument. ... The IMAP-3 instrument is designed to measure three components of the DC magnetic field in two ranges: +/- 6800 nT with resolution 1 nT and +/- 68000 nT with resolution 10 nT. ... We cannot calculate now By and Bz components separately due to absence of the spacecraft attitude data. ...
