On the future NanoMagSat LEO nanosatellite constellation observations of space environment
Résumé
The NanoMagSat project aims to deploy and operate a new constellation concept of three identical 16U gravitygradient stabilized nanosatellites with no propulsion but stable enough attitude control, using two inclined (~ 60°) and one polar LEO, for investigating both the Earth’s magnetic field and the ionospheric environment. Drawing from the lessons learnt from the ESA Swarm mission, which it is designed to complement and succeed, it will also provide new science opportunities thanks to its innovative constellation design and miniaturized payload.
