The latest most significant development projects of Vega LLC
Magnetically Shielded Calibration Unit (MSCU)
Every specialist involved in accurate measurements of weak magnetic fields is familiar with the problem of using sensitive magnetometers in conditions of urban environment.
During the production and maintenance of precision induction magnetic sensors, the most efficient setup and calibration process for these complex instruments is required.
The Company’s engineers designed and manufactured a calibration unit with a multi-layer system of magnetic shields, which significantly reduces the level of external electromagnetic noise in a wide frequency range. With this facility, sensitive magnetic sensors can be set up and measured in almost any convenient location – in a laboratory, workshop or office building.
This facility significantly reduces the production and maintenance time of the IMS series sensors.
MSCU
Mobile calibration unit (MCU)
To calibrate magnetic sensors in the field, the company’s engineering department has developed a mobile calibration unit (MCU) with an active suppression system for low-frequency interference.
The system is designed to calibrate sensors in the absence of intense industrial interference, in places where geophysical surveys are carried out. As part of the planned updating of the amplitude and phase-frequency characteristics of sensors in the course of field work, the MCU allows calibration of sensors by the field party, ensuring that the correct current characteristics are obtained.

Magnetically Shielded Room (MSR)
Creating a space for physical measurements that is protected from magnetic interference is an important task not only in the production of magnetic sensors, but also in a wide range of different research tasks.
Experience in designing and calculating magnetic shields, as well as the need for a wide range of organizations to use magnetically shielded laboratories for their needs, led to the idea of designing a room that is completely shielded from any magnetic interference.
Employees of the Company, using the vast experience, gained in fulfilling the order of the Centre for Cognition and Decision making, Institute for Cognitive Neuroscience, HSE University, Russian Federation, for the installation and research of MSR characteristics, developed by the German Company Vacuumschmelze, began to create their own magnetically shielded rooms.
The Presentation of the first MSR in the Company’s office is planned for 2024.
Marine Magnetotelluric Station
One of the new research field actively developed in the modern geophysical industry is an offshore electrical exploration and, in particular, magnetotelluric method, which is recognized as promising for oil and gas exploration. Magnetotelluric or MT is one of the most popular non-seismic methods for studying the Earth’s crust.
Since 2009, the company has been developing equipment for conducting geophysical measurements on the shallow water shelf. For more than ten years of experience in the design of marine equipment, three versions of marine bottom magnetotelluric stations have been developed and manufactured as part of commercial order.
MMS-20. Depth up to 20 meters.
MMS-70. Depth up to 70 meters.
MMS-300. Depth up to 300 meters.
