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.

这是一个短期（一年）的努力，以协调测试，交付和集成的一个新的微型磁场仪器的立方体卫星正在建造和发射的庆熙大学（KHU）在S。韩国 用于立方体卫星的新型科学磁力计正在新罕布什尔州大学通过单独的努力进行开发，由美国宇航局资助，并将免费捐赠给该项目。 这颗立方体卫星名为SIGMA（带有全球磁场和辐射测量仪器的科学立方体卫星），目前正在韩国政府的资助下由韩国大学开发，计划于2015年发射进入低地球轨道。 SIGMA使命的主要目的是立方卫星技术演示。由于增加了一个科学级磁力计，该使命将提供有关磁层波及其在地球辐射带衰减和衰减中的作用的有趣和重要的数据。 此外，该项目将提供新磁强计的飞行鉴定和空间演示，使其成为美国和国际上未来立方体卫星任务的宝贵资产。 最后，这项努力将促进和扩大美国大学和韩国KHU之间正在进行的立方体卫星项目合作，并将建立一个关键的协调作用的早期职业科学家。
