ATTITUDE DETERMINATION AND CONTROL SYSTEM (ADCS) FOR CUBESATS.
The Attitude Determination and Control System (ADCS) is crucial to any space mission that requires pointing to achieve the mission goals. The purpose of this subsystem is to estimate the actual orientation of the Nano satellite in space, i.e. its attitude, and to change it, if necessary. In order to perform these functions, the Nano satellite needs a hardware which has sensors and actuators. As a component of challenge 35, it is proposed to develop ADCS for the CubeSats.
