Abstract: On the basis of the harmonic description of a satellite magnetic field, a mathematical model is described. According to the model, we can calculate the magnetic dipole moment of a satellite by measuring guasi-dipole field intensity. And an example of the dipole moment calculation is given in this paper.

Key words: Magnetic dipole, Mathematical model, Satellite, Computation.
