About

The BRAVO-II Motor Controller is a dual-axis motor controller card developed by Motiv Space Systems for advanced motion control solutions in extreme space environments. It supports both BLDC and 3-axis stepper motors, offering precise control over current, velocity, and position. Designed for Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) environments, it boasts a radiation tolerance of 100 kRad TID and an SEU LET threshold greater than 60 MeV-cm2/mg. The controller is available with Class 2/3 EEE components, making it suitable for demanding space and planetary applications. Motiv’s motor controllers are tailored for specific environments regarding radiation and parts pedigree, allowing for rapid transition from lab to flight with the same architecture, saving time and money.
