This is the third of a seven part series on the potential applications of superconductivity in space. Superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) are used in highly-sensitive magnetometers and gradiometers. They are superior to all other magnetic sensors in sensitivity- frequency response, range, and linearity. They are useful also as galvanometers and amplifiers, particularly for applications requiring extreme voltage sensitivity such as, for example, low-impedance bolometer amplifiers and flux transformers.
