software
mag-noise/crm — Constellation Ready Magnetometers processing code
Python processing with MATLAB CDF generation. A versioned, archived, citable software artifact.
dataset
Data for Enabling In-Situ Magnetic Interference Mitigation Algorithm Validation via a Laboratory-Generated Dataset
Separately captured trends, physical reaction-wheel proxies and pseudo-geophysical signals from four synchronised vector magnetometers. Known constituents, so an algorithm can be validated rather than assumed.
