abstract = "Although the first satellite observations of the Earth{\textquoteright}s magnetic field were already taken more than 50 years ago, continuous geomagnetic measurements from space are only available since 1999. The unprecedented time-space coverage of this recent data set opened revolutionary new possibilities for exploring the Earth{\textquoteright}s magnetic field from space. In this chapter we discuss characteristics of satellites measuring the geomagnetic field and report on past, present and upcoming magnetic satellite missions. We conclude with some basics about space magnetic gradiometry as a possible path for future exploration of Earth{\textquoteright}s magnetic field with satellites.",
