Abstract:Magnetorquer based attitude control system capable of attaining high spin rates and precise pointing control is required for a 3U CubeSat satellite FORESAIL-1. The satellite, developed by Finnish Centre of Excellence, needs to maintain a spin rate of 24 • /s and precise pointing of the spin axis toward the Sun for the particle telescope instrument, as well as to reach 130 • /s spin rate for the deployment of the plasma brake. Mission requirements analysis and attitude system requirements derivation are present… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
