About
The TensorADCS Series for smallsats extends Tensor Tech’s attitude control capability to satellites ranging from 30 kg to 1000 kg. These systems incorporate multiple variable-speed, single-gimbal Control Moment Gyroscopes (CMG) for precise attitude control and maneuvering. Available in discrete configurations, each system includes onboard attitude determination, automated operating modes, and user-configurable interfaces. Configurable systems are available to match specific mission requirements. Operating modes include Basic (without CMG) for Sun Pointing, Detumbling, and Safe Mode, as well as Advanced Operation (with CMG) for Target Tracking, Fine Pointing, and Local-Vertical-Local-Horizontal. Tensor Tech provides scalable and modular ADCS solutions, allowing customers to select actuators, sensors, and an AOCS platform from their product range to meet mission needs. Integration services are also available. CMG configurations offer angular momentum storage from 0.01 Nms to over 10 Nms, with a modular architecture ensuring component compatibility across the product line.
