OUR MISSION

The Bi-stable Boom Dynamic Deployment (B2D2) experiment aims to flight qualify a bi-stable composite boom which is deployed from a CubeSat like platform in low gravity. A pair of dual fluxgate magnetometers developed at KTH will be placed on this boom to measure the Earth magnetic field with an accuracy of 50 nT.

The experiment is conducted by a team of students from KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm with the goal of familiarising themselves with applied space missions as a preparation for a future career in space industry. The data and pictures obtained from this mission would be used for outreach purposes.
