A magnetometer is a device that measures magnetic field or magnetic dipole moment. Different types of magnetometers measure the direction, strength, or relative change of the magnetic B-field at a par

The Magnetometer experiment for the Juno orbiter for Juno can be seen here on the end of a boom. The spacecraft uses two fluxgate magnetometers. (See also Magnetometer (Juno))
The compass is a simple type of magnetometer.
MEMS magnetic field sensor

A MEMS magnetic field sensor is a small-scale microelectromechanical systems device for detecting and measuring magnetic fields. Many of these operate by detecting effects of the Lorentz force: a chan

…miniaturized to the extent that they can be incorporated in integrated circuits at very low cost and are finding increasing use as miniaturized compasses (MEMS magnetic field sensor). Magnetic fields are vector quantities characterized by both strength and direction. The strength of a magnetic field, B, is measured with the unit…
