Abstract

This article describes the design,
construction and calculation of the mathematical model of a homogeneous magnetic
field, considering for this Helmholtz coil. Helmholtz coils consist of a pair
of coils along one axis parallel to each other. By varying the distance, size,
winding of these coils, it is enough to simulate a homogeneous magnetic field
that simulates the real Earth's magnetic field in orbit. Circular and square
coils, both with square cross section, are considered. Practical considerations
such as wire selection, wire-wrapping efficiency, wire bending radius, choice
of power supply, and inductance and time response are included. Numerical
calculations of the magnetic flux density, the values of the magnetic field
strength vectors in various directions are presented. The main goal of creating
this simulator is to test the development of algorithms for orientation and
control of the spacecraft, to improve the functioning of the components of the
satellite in the Earth's orbit
