SMT02C13 – 3D Helmholtz Cage, 27U, 5G, WiFi

Description

Three Orthogonal Helmholtz Coils that allow to create a uniform magnetic field, fixed or rotating, inside a sphere of 60 cm in diameter, or a cube of 35x35x35 cm³(27U CubeSat).

The Helmholtz Cage can be used both to cancel the Earth’s magnetic field, generating a volumen with a magnetic field very close to zero, and to produce a magnetic field of intensity up to 4G (up to 5G for short periods), oriented at will in space, both fixed and slowly rotating (up to 1 revolution per second).

Typical applications:
•   testing of 1D, 2D or 3D geomagnetic sensors;
•   testing of magnetic-based modules or components for the determination of the attitude and the magnetic measurement of the spin of satellites;
•   testing of ADCS systems for satellites;
•   educational laboratories on the magnetic determination of the attitude of a system;
•   educational laboratories on ADCS systems for satellites.

The Helmholtz Cage can be easily combined and integrated with other SpaceMotionery products (e.g. the Solar Simulator; the Solar Sensor and Star Tracker test systems; the 3D Gimbal for satellite attitude control).

Like all other SpaceMotionery systems, the Helmholtz Cage can be controlled, via WiFi, from a smartphone, a PC or any other system that can interact via WiFi with an HTTP protocol.
