Space Technology (ST-5) consisted of 3 spinning spacecraft in the same eccentric orbit around the Earth but spaced apart. The goal was to measure variations of the Earth’s magnetic field. For each location above the Earth, magnetic field was measured 3 times. The goal of this project is to model one of the ST-5 spacecraft and compare that model to how the spacecraft actually performed.
