Size and choose orientation of a permanent magnet so that the s/c will be nadir pointing when over UW.
Size hysteresis rods to provide sufficient damping so that the settling time is on the order of days (sorry, we don't have a concrete requirement here yet...this is a WAG)
Add the magnet/rod characteristics to the sim as an optional mode.

Will add Bijan to this when he accepts the invite.

We have a functional simulation with a set of parameters. If this is the direction we choose to go, it will be available and we can simulate different parameters for the magnets.
