Magnetometers are fundamental instruments used in planetary and space science. They are able to measure magnetic fields originating in a planet’s interior, past fields encapsulated in rocks in the crust, as well as magnetic fields generated by the motion of charged particles in the plasma environments of ionospheres, magnetospheres and interplanetary space.

The primary objective of the Benchmarking re-entry prediction uncertainties study is to fully exploit the informa- tion content of the GOCE observations and telemetry collected during its reentry phase for better understand- ing re-entry predictions in general and for GOCE in particular (ESA, 2015). Down to an altitude of 137 km, a rich data set of high-quality GPS, star tracker and also accelerometer observations were collected, be it that the latter were more and more saturated.
