Three Axis Magnetometer [-] TAM... Redundant TAMs are provided to sense the local strength and direction of the Earth's magnetic field. Each TAM consists of a sensor and a separately packaged electronics unit. The analog outputs provided by the TAM allow for sensing magnetic field data in three orthogonal axes. TAM-Operation Once the TAM is powered there will be no ground interactions necessary. The TAM data is used by the FSW ACS [Flight Software Attitude Control Subsystem routine to determine the local magnetic field when reaction wheel momentum unloading is deemed necessary via the magnetic torque rods [Landsat]. 3, record 1, English, - three%20axis%20magnetometer

On peut mesurer ainsi l'intensité d'un champ magnétique axial. Certains magnétomètres plus sophistiqués peuvent mesurer un champ global selon ses 3 axes x, y et z. On parle alors de magnétomètre triaxial. 2, record 1, French, - magn%C3%A9tom%C3%A8tre%20triaxial
