About
The Nanosatellite Attitude Control unit is engineered for the precise control of external magnetic coils, which are typically integrated within solar panels on nanosatellites. Its primary function is to facilitate attitude control by generating independent Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signals for two axes. The unit supports the connection of solar panels via a clamping connector and can manage up to four magnetic coils within these panels. It offers flexible bus options, including PC104 or an original interface, allowing for integration into various nanosatellite architectures. Key features include independent PWM signal generation for two axes, connection of solar panels through a clamping connector, and the ability to connect up to 4 magnetic coils in solar panels. The unit was released in 2016 and has a guaranteed service life of 1 year. While it does not currently have flight qualification, it offers the possibility of adaptation to customer-specific requirements.
