QuakeSatとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Quakesat is an earth observation nanosatellite based on 3 CubeSats. It was designed to be a proof-of-concept for collecting ELF earthquake precursor signals from space. The students working on the project are hoping that the detection of magnetic signals may have value in showing the onset of an earthquake. The company, Quakefinder, that put the satellites together is from Palo Alto, California. They're gathering data on the extremely low magnetic field fluctuations that are associated with earthquakes to help better understand this area of study that has its skeptics. The primary instrument is a magnetometer housed in a 2 foot (0.6 m) telescoping boom.
