Key highlights

CubeSpace (CS) provides a 3-axis controlled, robust magnetometer. The sensor can be supplied in a deployable form factor for satellites with larger magnetic disturbances and a compact form factor. The deployable form factor contains a backup 3-axis sensor, while the compact form factor allows for easy integration into your satellite and added redundancy for peace of mind. Our magnetometers are tested in our high-frequency Helmholtz cage, which simulates an even 3-axis magnetic field for accurate testing results.

Testing & qualification

Our satellite subsystems’ manufacturing, assembly, integration, and testing adhere to international space standards. We design these subsystems with carefully selected components and subject them to rigorous testing under ESA’s ECSS and NASA’s GEVS standards, including radiation, vibration, shock, and thermal vacuum tests. Utilising in-house test equipment enables us to validate product performance efficiently and cost-effectively, ensuring reliable and high-quality products and services for our ambitious partners.
