  ABSTRACT_TEXT            = "The primary objective of the Magnetic           
Field Instrument on the Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR) spacecraft      
is to search for and characterize the magnetic field of the asteroid          
Eros to better understand the origin and evolution of this planetary          
body. The instrument consists of a three-axis fluxgate magnetometer with      
a sensor mounted on the high-gain antenna feed structure of the NEAR          
spacecraft. It is currently operating in space and is providing               
measurements of the interplanetary magnetic field with a resolution of        
better than 1 nT. The Magnetic Field Instrument is capable of detecting       
a surface field at Eros of 10 nT at the 35-km altitude that will be the       
eventual orbit of NEAR."
