Abstract
In 1979, Magsat, a satellite specifically designed for magnetic anomaly studies was flown by NASA for the earth science community. For almost a decade, researchers have been evaluating the data gathered from Magsat; the results of these analyses showed that satellite magnetic data offered a new perspective to the exploration picture, and gave more accurate field models for use in the reduction of ground and aeromagnetic surveys. NASA’S original decision to implement the Magsat program was in part based on the favorable response by the academic and commercial communities (including the SEG) to a 1975 survey concerning their interest in such a satellite.
