Description: Voyager’s 13-meter-long magnetometer boom is shown fully extended. In space, under zero gravity conditions, the triangular epoxy glass mast spirals from its housing and provides a rigid support for two magnetometer instruments—one at the end of the boom and another at about the midpoint. [260-181] From NASA's "Voyage to Jupiter", NASA SP-439.
