SMT02C17 – 3D Merritt Cage, 65cm, with built-in controller 400uT, WiFi+USB

Description

Three Orthogonal Merritt Coils that allow to create a uniform magnetic field, fixed or rotating, inside a cube of 65x65x65 cm³ (well above 64U CubeSat).

The Merritt 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, oriented at will in space, both fixed and slowly rotating (up to 1 revolution per second).

With respect to SpaceMotionery’s Helmholtz Cage, the Merritt Cage offers nearly 8 times bigger volume with uniform magnetic field, for the same external size (81x81x110cm)

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 Merritt 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 Merritt Cage can be controlled, via WiFi, from a smartphone, a PC or any other system that can interact via WiFi with an HTTP protocol.
