The Giotto magnetometer experiment employs a low-mass (1.357 kg), low-power (818 mW) instrument in a dual magnetometer configuration using flux gate sensors of the ring core type. It has provided accurate vector magnetic field measurements on its way to and near Comet Halley, working flawlessly from switch-on on 22 August 1985 to the formal end of the mission on 15 March 1986.
