About

The NanoSense M315 is a flight-proven, compact, and low-noise magnetometer featuring an I2C interface, specifically engineered for nanosatellites with demanding Attitude and Orbit Control System (AOCS) requirements. Its reliability and fast sample time make it ideally suited for detumbling applications, while its very low noise characteristics ensure high-performance attitude determination. The compact design of the M315 allows for flexible mounting options, enabling the magnetometer to be positioned effectively away from potential magnetic disturbance sources. With a form factor of 23 x 20 x 8 mm and a mass of only 8 grams, the M315 offers an ultra-compact solution without compromising on performance.
