About
The triaxial angular velocity sensor (AVS) is intended for use in the loop of the system for determining the orientation of small satellites. The angular velocity measurements are based on a sensitive MEMS element. It is SPUTNIX’s own development based on the experience of creating sensors for the orientation and stabilization systems of the TabletSat-Aurora and OrbiCraft-Pro spacecraft, made within the ideology of unity of hardware and software solutions across the company’s product line, allowing effective use with third-party onboard systems and fast hardware/software integration with SPUTNIX’s other onboard systems.
