Motivation - Earth’s Magnetic Field
● Components of Geomagnetic Field

○ Main magnetic field
○ Crustal fields
○ Disturbance fields
● Geographic and magnetic poles are misaligned
and offset.
● Field intensity varies in time and space
○ Between ~20000 and ~65000 nT in LEO
● An accurate model is crucial to the navigation
and control systems
Simulation of geodynamo within Earth’s liquid core

World Magnetic Field Model (WMM)
● Standard model of Earth’s magnetic field
● Requires update every 5 years
● SWARM

Mid Semester Review

COSMO PDR Presentation

ADMIN - schedule, link/data budget, requirements, risks, SWAP, refined orbit

ELECTRONICS - Full FBD, board redesigned to show that it is feasible

STRUCTURES - first cad model - with everything inside and encased

● Overview and Motivation

Advisor: Systems Engineer:

● Components of Geomagnetic Field

● Requires update every 5 years

SWARM constellation with Magnetometer optical

COSMO will take scalar and vector measurements of the

● EMI testing thus far

Overview Baseline Changes Subsystems Management

Deployable UHF Antenna

Deployable Solar Panels

Aluminum Panels and Rails

XACT GPS Slice

Magnetometer XACT (ADCS)

KDR Description Reasoning

● 1x6U to minimize magnetometer

● Four independent 6061

● Allows for straightforward

● Reduced material costs (85%

● Panels utilize weight relief

● Full thickness panels

● NanoRacks static loading

● Sufficiently below yield to move

Max Stress: 1e07 N/m^2

● Using acceleration spectral density

● Maximum displacement: 2.187e-5 mm

The CDHS will apply control logic and power

KDR Description Reasoning

Desire to keep components consistent with CANVAS

• Located in South Africa / Sweden

• AMSAT / IARU Standard Link

● Link closes with >6 dB margin

● pre-PDR, address holes that audience addressed

KDR Description Reasoning

The COSMO CDH shall be capable of

Should communications have a recoverable failure,

The software shall autonomously manage

The software shall authenticate, process,

This is to assist with recovering from SEEs as well as

KDR Description Reasoning

Design: 5 SF batteries, 111.0 Whr BOL, 88.8 Whr EOL

Solar panels need to generate 30.93 W EOL

Minimum # of cells: 33 (30.93 W EOL)

Design # of cells: 40 (38.25 W, EOL)

● What is the current state of the MAXWELL peak power tracking?
