Welcome to scibit

Space projects support

Magnetic cleanliness, data analysis, custom software development

Profile

sci offers a set of services and support for different project phases of scientific instrument development.

  • Magnetic cleanliness: test, analysis, reporting.
  • Thermal modelling and analysis.
  • Data acquisition and analysis.
  • Documentation.
  • Instrument calibration and commanding support.
  • Customized open software development tailored to your needs.

sci mainly focuses on space related activities, as it profits from the past experience of its personnel with space projects. This experience was gained during collaboration on various projects of ESA/JAXA/DLR, e.g. Proba-2, MASCOT, JUICE, BepiColombo.

Services

Magnetic cleanliness

Performing magnetic cleanliness measurements (DC and AC — up to 100 Hz) of electronic devices. Processing and analysis of the measurement data, preparing reports with identification of the disturbances.

Custom software

Customized software development according to the needs of the customer. Data acquisition scripts or GUIs, instrument commanding and telemetry acquisition.

The software is developed under an open software license using Python.

Documentation

Preparation of technical documentation according to project specifications. Based on experience with space projects, sci is able to help with various technical documentation tailored to the needs of the project.

Thermal analysis

Reduced mathematical thermal model development, thermal simulation and analysis. Design of passive thermal control systems, i.e., thermal blankets (MLI).

Projects

Daedalus performance analysis

Performance analysis of the level 1c scientific products of the neutral atmosphere measurements of the Daedalus mission, in particular neutral density and composition, neutral temperature, neutral wind and acceleration. Within the study, the processing flow with algorithms from the raw observables into the L1c products was established and an error propagation analysis was performed. The overall performance for each observable was assessed and corrective actions proposed in order to achieve the required accuracy. The study was performed under contract No. 4578609 with OHB System AG.

SP4GATEWAY

Consortium member for the study 'Deep Space Gateway – Plasma Physics Payload Conceptual Design', under ESA Contract No. 4000128461/19/NL/FC. sci contributed in terms of requirements critical review for the magnetometer instrument and its concept design proposal.

ESWEP

Member of the study team for the study 'EL3 Polar Explorer Environment and Space Weather / Exosphere Pre-Phase A Study', under ESA Contract No. 4000136050/21/NL/AT. sci contributed in terms of requirements critical review for the magnetometer instrument and its concept design proposal.

JUICE

Development of the Electrical Ground Support Equipment (EGSE) software for the in-board magnetometer (IBS) of the JMAG consortium. The IBS instrument was developed by the Institute of Geophysics and Extraterrestrial Physics (IGeP) at the University of Braunschweig. The software serves for raw data conversion, visualization and data analysis.

MCF

Software for data acquisition and analysis for the magnetic cleanliness facility developed at Magson GmbH. The facility measures the magnetic moment of a tested device (instrument/mechanical part) by rotating it in ambient magnetic field conditions and measuring the signal response with a gradiometer. The software acquires the data from the gradiometer, performs the analysis and computes the respective magnetic moment of the device.
