Measure the local magnetic field.
Magnetometers measure the local magnetic-field vector for attitude determination, detumbling and magnetic-control feedback. The relevant product may be a standalone fluxgate or AMR sensor, a deployed sensor, or a sensor integrated into an IMU.
These are sourcing candidates, not a confirmed Starlink supply chain.
Three-axis sensors with temperature measurement and digital serial output, developed for spacecraft magnetic-field sensing and attitude determination. [2]

A company address is shown separately from a published factory location. Request the manufacturing site and lot traceability for the exact part when sourcing.
Check full-scale range against expected geomagnetic field plus spacecraft-generated offsets.
Keep spectral density, RMS noise and digital resolution distinct; require bandwidth and sample-rate conditions.
Evaluate absolute offset, scale-factor and cross-axis errors after calibration, not resolution alone.
Plan separation from wheels, torque rods, harness currents and ferromagnetic structure; consider a boom.
Request sensor and electronics temperature calibration and the residual error across the operating range.
Confirm analog ADC requirements or digital protocol, cadence, timing and coordinate convention.
Include deployed booms, redundancy and external electronics in mass/power budgets.
Compare unit-level radiation and environmental evidence for the exact sensor configuration.
Specifications belong to the named product and configuration.
