简要介绍了与火星周围磁场测量有关的一些科学问题，并介绍了行星b上磁场仪器的规格。PLANET-B的高椭圆轨道，其近心高度为150 km，近心高度为15 RM（火星半径），使我们能够观测到从电离层高度到上游和尾部各个区域的磁环境。最重要的目标之一是解决关于火星磁矩大小的争议性争论。与行星b上的其他仪器相结合的测量将为我们提供一些尚未解决的问题的重要信息，如白天电离层的压力平衡和电离层离子的加速过程。
Some scientific topics relating to magnetic field measurements around Mars are briefly described and specification of the magnetic field instrument onboard PLANET-B is presented. The highly elliptical orbit of PLANET-B with a periapsis altitude of 150 km and an apoapsis of 15 RM (Mars radii) will enable us to observe magnetic environments in various regions from the ionospheric altitudes to upstream and tail regions. One of the most important objectives is to resolve the controversial arguments about the magnitude of the magnetic moment of Mars. Combination of measurements with other instruments onboard PLANET-B will give us important information on unsolved problems such as the pressure balance in the dayside ionosphere and acceleration processes for ionospheric ions.
