About
Lodestone is a compact, space-ready module designed to provide complementary attitude determination and motion sensing capabilities for nanosatellites and other space systems. It integrates a 3-axis magnetometer, gyroscope, and accelerometer into a single, compact unit with a unified interface. The product is ITAR free and has flight heritage. It is available in a standard version and a NEO (Near-Earth Object) version. The module operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, has small dimensions of 22 x 20 x 6 mm, and a mass of less than 10g. It requires a 3.3 V power supply and has a low power consumption of less than 10 mW (peak & average). The integrated sensors include a magnetometer, gyroscope, accelerometer, and thermometer. It communicates via an I2C interface (CSP v1).
