NanoMagSat (Scout 3)[1] is a future satellite constellation under development by the European Space Agency (ESA) for the study of Earth's magnetic field and ionosphere.[2][3][4][5][6][7] The mission will consist of three 16U CubeSats named Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie (A, B, and C)[2] in low-Earth orbit at an altitude of 545 km,[8] two at an inclination of 60° and one in polar orbit.[9][3] Each satellite will be equipped with a long deployable boom carrying an absolute magnetometer at its end and a high-frequency magnetometer positioned midway along the boom. The body of each satellite will carry a multi-needle Langmuir Probe and two GNSS receivers.[8][10] The satellites are being built by the UK-based company Open Cosmos[8][11][12][13] and their first launch is expected in late 2027.[14]
