About

GomSpace NanoTorque GST-600 is a compact 3-axis magnetorquer system consisting of a single air-torquer and two magnetorquer rods, designed for 6U CubeSats but usable on other platforms. Satellite attitude is controlled by altering current in the air-torquer and magnetorquer rods, providing high torque with low residual dipole to minimize interference with sensors. Includes a built-in temperature sensor and is designed for seamless integration with the NanoTorque GSW-600 reaction wheel series. Flight-proven.
