On 22-25 February 2017, an installation of MAGDAS II station has been successfully installed at East Coast Environmental Research Institute (ESERI), UniSZA. As information, this is the 50th in the world and 5th in Malaysia. This MAGDAS project been deployed for carrying space weather studies by clarifying dynamics of geo space plasma changes during magnetic storms and auroral sub storms, the electromagnetic response of magnetosphere to various solar wind changes, and the penetration and propagation mechanisms of DP2-ULF range disturbances from the solar wind region into the equatorial ionosphere. From the MAGDAS data, it can be used for studies of such as magnetic storm, auroral substorms, etc ,while during the induction-type is importance of studies on ULF waves, transient and impulsive phenomena.

At that time, a workshop on MAGDAS also been conducted in order to expose to students on the importance and use of MAGDAS. The workshop be managed by lecturer from UKM, UiTM Shah Alam and representative from Kunsyu University, Japan. This is a project of collaboration on MAGnetic Data Acquisition System (MAGDAS) network between UniSZA-ICSWSE (Kyushu University, Japan)-ANGKASA-UiTM Shah Alam-UKM.
