Thanks to the good conditionof the satellite so far, the planned 5 years mission is extended to year 2009. The satellite pro-vides continuously a large quantity of measurement data for the purpose of Earth study. Themeasurements of the magnetic field are undertaken by two Fluxgate Magnetometers (vectormagnetometer) and one Overhauser Magnetometer (scalar magnetometer) flown on CHAMP.
