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-40m is the highest-momentum discrete member of the family. Same operating modes as the family: Basic (Sun Pointing, Detumbling, Safe Mode) and Advanced/CMG-enabled (Target Tracking, Fine Pointing, Local-Vertical-Local-Horizontal).
