Hi @bbercoviciUspace , thanks for the contribution! Are you able to open a new issue and document this? That way it'll be in the back log and project maintainers or industrious members of the community might produce a change for this. |

It appears that the WMM coefficients currently shipped with BSK are fairly old, as exemplified by the header line in WMM.COF, which seems to imply that the coefficients have gone obsolete in 2018.
The WMM Project page provides a new of coefficients valid over the 2020-2025 range. I think it would be nice if these parameters could replace those currently shipped with Basilisk. Note that merely replacing the existing COF file with the newer ones causes the unit-tests associated to magnetic modules (either WMM or magnetometer) to fail :(
