            Abstract : 
This paper describes the simple techniques used to achieve magnetically clean spacecraft for NASA´s Radiation Belt Storm Probes (RBSP) mission. The series of steps taken from initial design to complete check of static magnetic field of the spacecraft is described in this paper.
