abstract = "The Geomagnetic Field over the Brazilian sector of the South
American Magnetic Anomaly (SAMA) has been monitored by the
NANOSATC-BR Ground Stations Network it is based on the INPE-UFSM's
NANOSATC-BR, CubeSats Development \& Capacity Building Integrated
Programs on space science, engineering and computing sciences for
the development of space technologies, through CubeSats
nanosatellites and the qualification of new young scientists \&
technologists for the Brazilian Space Program. These Programs have
two operational tracking ground stations (GS) with communications
designed for small satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), using
radio amateur frequencies from IARU - International Amateur Radio
Union, such as CubeSats for use in university environments, as
UFSM, ITA and INPE in Brazil. It is a compact turnkey setup and
Global Educational Network for Satellite Operations (GENSO), with
VHF/UHF band and S-band antennas, one GS(INPE-CRS) in Santa Maria,
RS, Lat: 29.4245º S, Long 53.4303º W, and a second one
GS(INPE-ITA) in S{\~a}o Jos{\'e} dos Campos, SP, Lat: 23.2090º
S, Long 45.8745º W, both dedicated for the monitoring and tracking
of the first two CubeSats of these Programs: NANOSATC-BR1 (1U)
launched into a LEO orbit from the Russian Yasny Launch Base by a
DNEPR launch vehicle on June 19th, 2014, as the first Brazilian
scientific university CubeSat and a NANOSATC-BR2 (2U) with
launching planed for the end of 2015. These CubeSats are expected
to operate in orbit for about 12 months each. These Programs which
have the support from The Brazilian Space Agency (AEB), with its
NANOSATC-BR Brazilian Ground Stations Network and the first
observational results of the Geomagnetic Field monitoring over the
Brazilian SAMA region are presented.",
