Introsat Educational Kit Magnetism

Extension of the constructor Introsat™ by topic groups "Executive devices" and "Magnetism".

It is used to conduct in-depth classes on the actuators of spacecraft based on interaction with the Earth's magnetic field, and to prepare for competitions.

The kits allow you to assemble compact desktop test stands in a magnetic field based on Helmholtz rings and supplement the functional models of CubeSat satellites with magnetic orientation coils.

The content of the course and the complete set of the basic set allow you to conduct practical classes, including:

  • Assemble the stand for creating a magnetic field
  • Calculate electromagnetic actuators on board satellites
  • Programming the satellite control system to operate in a magnetic field
  • Solving problems of satellite orientation and stabilization in a magnetic field
  • Allows you to prepare for the "Satellite Systems" profile of the National Technological Olympiad

The recommended age of students is 14-18 years old. To work requires a PC or laptop.
