About
NanoTorque GST-600 MK2 is a compact three-axis magnetorquer designed primarily for 6U CubeSats but usable in both smaller and larger satellites. The system consists of a single air-torquer and two magnetorquer rods, enabling attitude control by altering current in the actuators. The GST-600 MK2 features high torque capabilities for effective satellite attitude adjustment, combined with a low residual dipole to minimize interference with onboard sensors and equipment. It is designed for seamless integration with the NanoTorque GSW-600 4-wheel reaction wheel assembly, together forming GomSpace’s complete ADCS solution for reliable CubeSat attitude control.
