About
The SPUTNIX SXC-FW4-02 reaction wheels module is an autonomous actuator module of four flywheels with drivers and control electronics, designed for integration into 3U or larger nanosatellites. The flywheels and electronics are balanced and calibrated, providing enough torque to rotate the nanosatellite. It uses a single PC/104 connection with power and CAN buses; each flywheel driver can be driven separately with its own CAN ID. The module is designed for “off the shelf” use with the SPUTNIX SXC-MB-04-ADC ADCS controller.
