About

The ASTROFEIN Gyro System AGS-1 is a compact and economic tri-axial rotation measurement system specifically designed for small satellites. It provides temperature-compensated data for accurate measurements and features low mass and low power consumption, making it suitable for space applications. The system supports two modes of operation: free running and triggered. It can also integrate additional acceleration sensors upon request. The AGS-1 has a design lifetime of 5 years in low earth orbit and a storage time of 3 years. It operates within a temperature range of -15°C to +40°C and can withstand non-operational temperatures from -30°C to +60°C. Data interfaces are primarily RS422, with other options available on request.
