The Micro-X sounding rocket is a NASA funded X-ray telescope payload thatcompleted its first flight on July 22, 2018. This event marked the firstoperation of Transition Edge Sensors (TESs) and their SQUID-based multiplexingreadout system in space. Unfortunately, due to an ACS pointing failure, therocket was spinning during its five minute observation period and no scientificdata was collected. However, data collected from the internal calibrationsource marked a partial success for the payload and offers a unique opportunityto study the response of TESs and SQUIDs in space. Of particular interest isthe magnetic field response of the NIST MUX06a SQUID readout system to tumblingthrough Earth's magnetic field. We present a model to explain the baselineresponse of the SQUIDs, which lead to a subset of pixels failing to "lock" forthe full observational period. Future flights of the Micro-X rocket willinclude the NIST MUX18b SQUID system with dramatically reduced magneticsusceptibility.
