Magnetometers

  • AAC Clyde Space Magnetometer MM200: MM200_Magnetometer.pdf
    • Lightweight/small volume (good for compact design)
    • Low noise, high sensitivity (analog signal processing occurs on the magnetometer)
    • Good for precise altitude control and scientific measurements
    • Adaptable (flanged housing → good for stability/bearing housing fixed in place, minimal housing → easy installation/maintenance, constrained space)
    • High radiation tolerance
    • Must request quote/file product enquiry for pricing
  • AAC Clyde Space Magnetometer MAG-3: MAG_3.pdf
    • 3-axis satellite fluxgate monitor (radiation tolerant/thermally stable, measuring distortions in DC magnetic fields, very sensitive)
    • Tested on many other missions → history of performing well
    • 3 different magnetic sensors operating in X, Y, and Z axes (operating independently/simultaneously)
    • Must request quote/file product enquiry for pricing
  • Nanosense M315: gs-ds-nanosense-m315-12
    • Compact low noise magnetometer, suited for high performance attitude determination system
    • Low temperature dependency, BUT important to place this magnetometer as far from current consuming devices
    • Can be fitted into many locations on nanosatellites
  • CubeSpace CubeMag: GEN_2_SENSORS_Jan_2023_Web.pdf
    • Comparably lowest mass to other magnetometers + highest resistance to extreme temperatures
    • Higher random vibrations, less accurate than other magnetometers
