Cosmos 49 was instrumented with proton magnetometers to map the earth's magnetic field. This spacecraft, along with Cosmos 26, represented the U.S.S.R. contribution to the IQSY World Magnetic Survey. The corresponding U.S. measurements were performed on OGO 2 and OGO 4. The shape of the spacecraft was almost an ellipsoid and measured 1.8 m long and 1.2 m in diameter. A boom 3.3 m long was attached from one end of the spacecraft to the magnetometers. The performance of the spacecraft was satisfactory.
