About
The TensorADCS series provides attitude determination and control systems for nanosatellites up to 30 kg, incorporating variable-speed, single-gimbal Control Moment Gyroscopes (CMGs) for 3-axis attitude control and maneuvering, in configurations from 3U to 16U. The TensorADCS-20m is a discrete configuration, with CMG, controller, and sensors installed separately within the satellite structure for flexible component positioning in non-standard layouts, occupying 0.75U total. Same operating modes as the family: Basic (Sun Pointing, Detumbling, Safe Mode) and Advanced/CMG-enabled (Target Tracking, Fine Pointing, Local-Vertical-Local-Horizontal).
