Magnetic field measurments at small spacecraft «Aist»

The description of the experiments conducted using the equipment «MAGCOM» installed on board the spacecraft small type «Aist», which is designed to measure the Earth’s magnetic field by means of two ternary magnetometers, as well as for compensation arising in flight angular perturbations using three orthogonally arranged solenoids. The measurements of the geomagnetic field are transmitted as part of software and telemetry data to Earth, where they are processed for the purpose of reconstruction of the parameters of the rotational motion of the spacecraft, certain lighting conditions Sun sensors and other scientific instruments on board the calculation of the value of the residual disturbances.
