The Indian Institute of Geomagnetism, Mumbai has developed the magnetometer as part of its technology development program.
It will pave way for reducing the cost of sampling and sensing experiments essential for geomagnetic sampling.
Overhauser Magnetometer is one of the most accurate magnetometers extensively used by all magnetic observatories around the world.
They are known for their higher accuracy, higher sensitivity, and efficient power consumption and hence find applications in all magnetic observatories worldwide as well as in international space programs.
