Author(s): Marco Ruano, SanzarVictor Gómez, Sanzar Presenter: Marco Ruano, Professor , Sanzar Abstract: The growing market for small satellites requires agile, efficient and compact attitude control systems (ACS) to improve mission performance, enable optical satellite communication (quantum) and improve data observation, increasing precision and agility in control. Reaction wheels are the most widely used active […]

Author(s): Florian BIBOUD, Vinterstellar Emil Vinterhav, Vinterstellar Maria Hoflund, Vinterstellar Presenter: Florian BIBOUD, Flight Dynamicist, Vinterstellar AB Abstract: Geostationary satellites are indispensable for telecommunications, weather forecasting, and Earth observation due to their ability to maintain a fixed position relative to the Earth’s surface. However, sustaining this position requires constant station-keeping maneuvers to counteract perturbations caused […]
