About
The MAG-3 is a 3-axis magnetometer from AAC SpaceQuest designed for CubeSat attitude determination and magnetic field measurement. It measures the Earth’s magnetic field vector to support attitude control systems and can be used for coarse attitude determination, magnetorquer control reference, and science magnetometry missions. Interfaces with CubeSat OBCs via I2C and provides calibrated vector outputs.
