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）工作，旨在协调韩国庆熙大学 (KHU) 建造和发射的立方体卫星的新型微型磁场仪器的测试、交付和集成。 用于立方体卫星的新型科学磁力计正在新罕布什尔大学通过一项由美国宇航局资助的单独工作进行开发，并将免费贡献给该项目。 名为 SIGMA（带有全球磁场和辐射仪器的科学立方体卫星）的立方体卫星目前由 KHU 在韩国政府的资助下正在开发，计划于 2015 年发射到近地轨道。SIGMA 任务的主要目的是立方体卫星技术示范。通过添加科学级磁力计，该任务将提供有关磁层中的波及其在地球辐射带的激发和衰变中的作用的有趣且重要的数据。 此外，该项目还将提供新型磁力计的飞行验证和太空演示，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，这项工作将促进和扩大美国大学和韩国 KHU 之间在立方体卫星项目上正在进行的合作，并将任命一位早期职业科学家担任关键的协调角色。
