This is a short-term (one-year) effort to coordinate the testing, delivery, and integration of a new miniature magnetic field instrument for a cubesat being built and launched by Kyung Hee University (KHU) in S. Korea. The new science magnetometer for cubesats is being developed at University of New Hampshire through a separate effort, funded by NASA, and will be contributed free of charge to this project. The cubesat named SIGMA (Scientific cubesat withInstruments for Global Magnetic field and rAdiation) is currently being developed by KHU with funding from the Korean government and is scheduled for launch into a low-Earth orbit in 2015. The main purpose of the SIGMA mission is cubesat technology demonstration. With the addition of a science grade magnetometer, the mission will provide interesting and important data pertaining to waves in the magnetosphere and their role in energization and decay of the Earth radiation belts. Furthermore, the project will provide in-flight qualification and in-space demonstration of the new magnetometer, making it a valuable asset for future cubesat missions both in the US and internationally. Finally, the effort will foster and expand an ongoing collaboration on cubesat projects between universities in the US and the KHU in South Korea and will establish an early career scientist in a key coordinating role.

这是一项短期（一年）的努力，旨在协调新的微型磁场工具的测试，交付和集成，用于由S.韩国的Kyung Hee University（KHU）建造和推出的Cubesat。 新罕布什尔大学通过由NASA资助的单独的努力在新罕布什尔大学开发了新的科学磁力计，并将免费为该项目捐款。 Khu目前正在韩国政府的资金开发名为Sigma的立方体（带有全球磁场和辐射的Instruments）的Cubesat（Scientific Cubesat with Instruments for Global Maginate Field and Radiations），并计划于2015年推出进入低地球轨道。Sigma Mission的主要目的是Cubesat Technology示范。随着添加科学级磁力计，该任务将提供与磁层中的波及其在地球辐射带的能量和衰减中的作用有关的有趣而重要的数据。 此外，该项目将提供新磁力计的机上资格和空间演示，这使其成为美国和国际上未来的立方体任务的宝贵资产。 最后，这项努力将促进和扩大在美国和韩国大学大学之间的Cubesat项目上进行的持续合作，并将建立一位早期的职业科学家，以关键的协调角色。
