Magnetometer

Scope

This page describes the hardware properties of the CubeMag Deployable and the mathematical description of the functionality of a Magnetorquer.

CubeMag

cubemag The CubeMag is a deployable Magnetometer. It is temperature calibrated and can be calibrated in orbit. It can be restowed after deployment. The CubeMag Deployable is pre-calibrated by CubeSpace and can be recalibrated in orbit. It is a deployable Magnetometer mounted on the +X axis. These are the specs: cubemag-specs

Mathematical description

The 3 axis magnetometer measures the strength and direction of the Earth’s magnetic field in the magnetometer coordinate frame (M). The measurement model is
