About
The iADCS400 is an advanced integrated Attitude Determination and Control System from AAC Hyperion for 3U to 16U CubeSats. Unlike the iADCS200, the iADCS400 integrates miniature reaction wheels in addition to magnetorquers, star tracker interface, and higher-precision sensors to achieve sub-degree pointing accuracy. This makes it suitable for Earth observation, scientific, and technology demonstration missions requiring precise attitude control.
