B2D2
REXUS/BEXUS
The REXUS/BEXUS is a German-Swedish student program which allows students from ESA countries to launch experiments on either a sounding rocket or a stratospheric balloon.
B2D2
The Bistable Boom Dynamic Deployment (B2D2) project is an experiment scheduled to be launched on the RX30 Rocket in March 2022. It aims to demonstrate high quality measurements of the Earth’s magnetic field using a self-deployable boom carrying two magnetometers.
The experiment
The project aims to develop an ejectable Free Falling Unit (FFU) containing a magnetometer boom, a recovery unit and other required instrumentation. The time history of magnetic field vectors from both magnetometers, the attitude of the FFU and the raw GPS data will be recorded. These will be used to reconstruct measurements of the Earth’s magnetic field within an accuracy of 50 nT as compared to magnetic field model calculations and ground based measurements.
