About
The Autonomous Measurements System is designed to verify the attitude determination and control system (ADCS) of a microsatellite mockup. It independently determines attitude and angular velocity by analyzing video data from special markers distributed on the test object, without relying on the ADCS under test. The system includes at least 2 cameras and at least 16 different markers evenly distributed over the test object (marker positions relative to the coordinate system are known). Attitude recognition accuracy 0.1°, angular velocity recognition accuracy 0.05 °/s. Released 2013, 5-month delivery. Not customizable.
