Turbulence Heating ObserveR (THOR) is the first mission ever flown in space dedicated to plasma turbulence. The/ngoal of the Fluxgate Magnetometer (MAG) is to measure the DC to low frequency ambient magnetic field. The/ndesign of the magnetometer consists of two tri-axial sensors and the related magnetometer electronics; the electronics/nare hosted on printed circuit boards in the common electronics box of the fields and wave processor (FWP). A/nfully redundant two sensor system mounted on a common boom and the new miniaturized low noise design based/non MMS and Solar Orbiter instruments enable accurate measurement throughout the region of interest for THOR/nscience. The usage of the common electronics hosted by FWP guarantees to fulfill the required timing accuracy/nwith other fields measurements. These improvements are important to obtain precise measurements of magnetic/nfield, which is essential to estimate basic plasma parameters and correctly identify the spatial and temporal scales/nof the turbulence. Furthermore, THOR MAG provides high quality data with sufficient overlap with the Search/nCoil Magnetometer (SCM) in frequency space to obtain full coverage of the wave forms over all the frequencies/nnecessary to obtain the full solar wind turbulence spectrum from MHD to kinetic range with sufficient accuracy
