  1. SPP Fields Antenna3rd AxisDesign Concept Paul Turin SSL UCB 9/20/12

  2. Antenna Concept • Add third E-field axis by extending 1m Stacer boom from end of magnetometer boom • Small Stacer would be light weight, compact, have simple mechanical and electrical interfaces • Deployed by FR04 Frangibolt • Non-magnetic, low-permeability materials • Length controlled by Dacron lanyard • High-heritage design – over 600 Stacers successfully flown, 13 of very similar design

  3. What is a Stacer?
