Abstract
Torquer rods for commercial spacecraft need to be characterized for qualification purposes. Very ac-curate characterization is possible using lengthy methods with accurate mechanical specifications, however, in the commercial environment this is not feasible. Three characterization methods, two magnetometric and one fluxmetric, are evaluated on robustness and uncertainty.
