Abstract
The fluxgate magnetometer flown on the Active Magnetospheric Particle Tracer Explorers United Kingdom Subsatellite (AMPTE UKS) spacecraft and its operation are described. The instrument is a modified flightspare from the ISEE 1/2 mission and shares many features with the ISEE instruments. During routine operations data are returned to the United Kingdom Control Centre and displayed in real time in a geophysical coordinate system. Instrument and data system are all operating successfully.
