About
The MT-P4 magnetorquer rod is an integrated solution designed for momentum dumping of LEO satellites. The core is annealed Alloy 79 wound with enameled copper winding, optimized for low power consumption at a nominal magnetic dipole of 2 Am2. The MT-P4 has built-in control electronics and is simply interfaced by 28V unregulated battery voltage and redundant CAN buses.
The MT-P4 comprises redundant input supply connected using diodes, redundant torquer rod windings, and redundant driver electronics for enhanced reliability. Mounting brackets can be moved to accommodate various mounting features on the satellite bus.
