About CubeSpace ADCS

CubeSpace is a South African company specializing in Attitude Determination and Control Systems (ADCS) for small satellites. The company's Turn-Key ADCS simplifies a complex subsystem into a customizable, plug-and-play solution featuring integrated closed-loop control algorithms honed through more than a decade of flight heritage.

Over the past 10 years, CubeSpace has refined its ADCS systems to achieve unmatched modularity and maturity. The systems integrate seamlessly with a customer's on-board computer (OBC), adapt easily to a wide range of satellite mechanics and electronics, and support distributed node architectures. CubeSpace's product range spans reaction wheels, magnetorquer rods, deployable and temperature-calibrated magnetometers, high-accuracy sun sensors, IR earth horizon sensors, and compact star trackers.

The company also supports integration of third-party hardware to scale ADCS solutions to specific mission requirements, with tried-and-tested control modes and firmware upgradeability (including the bootloader) that make its systems a reliable choice for satellite missions of varying complexity.
