Abstract
From over 200 observations of the decreasing spin rate of Vanguard I made during the year since its launching, eddy-current induction theory yields 0.115 ± 0.001 gauss as the mean magnetic field normal to the spin axis of the satellite. This measured value agrees with that deduced from Bauer's model of the earth's dipole field.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
