Design of magnetic stabilization coils for PilsenCUBE picosatellite

CubeSat class of the picosatellites offer a support for the low-costs science experiments. Designing of these picosatellites is very difficult due to several critical design limits. For example the CubeSat mass is presently limited up to 1.33kg, inside volume for the electronics and mechanical parts is less then 1dm
³
and the total mean power consumption of all electronics is often less then 1W due to a limited solar cells area. This paper is focused on magnetic coils design for PilsenCUBE picosatellite stabilization subsystem in relations to the influencing disturbance forces. The presented stabilization coil design should be generally used for other similar picosatellite projects.
