Turn-Key ADCS
A satellite's ADCS is a sophisticated, self-contained system. It relies on complex mathematical models and algorithms. It demands precise timing and synchronisation, robust fault detection, isolation, and proper recovery (FDIR) mechanisms. It also demands comprehensive monitoring and switching, meticulous logging, telemetry handling, and the accurate configuration and calibration of sensors. Over the past decade, we've developed and refined a turn-key ADCS solution to execute all these tasks flawlessly. We've simplified a complex subsystem into a customisable, scalable, plug-and-play solution, with easy-to-use documentation. The result is our Turn-Key ADCS: a user-friendly, flexible, and modular ADCS solution with integration and commissioning support.
1
Including detumbling, sun-spin, earth target tracking, TDI Imaging with FMC, inter-satellite tracking, and many more.
2
Including reaction wheels, torquers, gyros, and star trackers, including the Sodern Auriga
3
Compact integrated systems for 3-6U, and distributed systems for flexibile larger satellite architectures including SmallSats
4
Reducing reaction wheel micro-vibrations and reducing jitter for high-accuracy EO applications
5
Enabling the ADCS to be adapted to any satellite bus architecture
6
Including power monitoring and switching of sensors/actuators
7
GNSS position and velocity through comms interface, with option for direct GNSS or adaptive SGP4. Timing synchronisation over either IO or differential (LVDS) PPS.
8
Requiring only a single V-BAT supply
9
Including ADCS computer and all sensors and actuators
10
On-board TLM logging for later download by OBC
11
Comprehensive autogenerated software API library for easy integration with OBC software
12
Software-configurable sensor and actuator orientation for flexible mounting in satellite
Build your own mission scenarios, test con-ops, and obtain accurate pointing and power budgets using D2S2, our graphical satellite simulator. Available as an annual subscription. Combine it with the Turn-Key ADCS flight model (FM) or development model (DM) core, in hardware in the loop (HIL) mode, to get a fully representative EM FlatSat without the need for physical actuators and sensors. D2S2 will emulate space conditions to realistically simulate ADCS hardware in orbit. Customers can also utilise the Turn-Key ADCS DM core to develop their own OBC<>ADCS software interface.
