Three Axis Satellite Magnetometer
The AAC SpaceQuest MAG-3 is a 3-axis satellite fluxgate magnetometer that enables reliable and accurate spacecraft attitude measurements.
This space-qualified component and its predecessors have flown on numerous space missions from Georgia Tech PROX-1, Bigelow Aerospace Genesis-1 to Naval Research Laboratory missions and is particularly well suited to the radiation environments of high LEO orbits.
The low noise magnetometer consists of three magnetic sensors, X, Y and Z, operating independently and simultaneously. The unit consists of a “sense” (secondary) coil surrounding an inner “drive” (primary) coil that is wound around permeable core material. The phase detector identifies key harmonics, and these signals are integrated and processed to produce a highly sensitive magnetic field measurements.
The units may be configured to client requirements for supply voltage, total magnetic field range and total voltage range for various analogue outputs.
Reliable
The flight proven compact fluxgate Magnetometer produces highly sensitive and accurate magnetic field measurements.
Adaptable
The units may be configured to client requirements for supply voltage, total magnetic field range and total voltage range for various analogue outputs.
Heritage
This space-qualified component and its predecessors have flown on numerous space missions from Georgia Tech PROX-1, Bigelow Aerospace Genesis-1 to Naval Research Laboratory missions.
