 Abstract: Geomagnetic Virtual Observatories (GVOs) are a method for processing magnetic satellite data in order to simulate the observed behaviour of the geomagnetic field at a static location. Data are collected in a volume of space over a period of time and reduced, via the fitting of a local potential field model, to a point estimate. As low-Earth orbit satellites move very quickly but have an infrequent re-visit time to the same location, a trade off must be made between spatial and temporal resolution. Geomagnetic satellites in polar orbits that drift slowly in local time see uneven sampling of local time dependent signals unless data are gathered over a period as long as the local time drift rate. For example, four months and a radius of influence of 700km was chosen for the ESA Swarm mission.The proposed NanoMagSat constellation would include two satellites at 60° inclined orbits, and one in a near-polar orbit. The inclined orbits would provide comparatively rapid local time coverage at mid-to-low latitudes, in theory allowing GVOs to sample every three weeks compared to seventeen weeks for Swarm. We present the results of calculating GVOs from simulated NanoMagSat mission data and compare to the standard of Swarm GVOs.
