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
- SkyFox piMAGGYRO: skyfox-pimaggyro.pdf
- 3 axes of measurement (x,y,z), useful for spacecraft health monitoring + tumbling detection (away from debris that would intervene w processes)
- Low power and compact, but not useful for high precision (noisier than fluxgate magnetometers)
