Global Coverage of Sentinel-1 and Spaceborne LiDAR: A Data-Driven Foundation for Forest Height Estimation

This study investigates concepts of measuring magnetic fields with CubeSats. An exemplary instrument including the sensor, electronics, and boom was designed, built and tested. A novel Application-Specific Integrated Circuit has been used and concepts of larger missions have been adapted. Tests have shown the radiation hardness of the electronics and an improved performance over existing concepts. The results validate the technology and set further directions of CubeSat instrument developments.
