Description
Features:
The system includes features such as TLM logging, sensor and actuator power control and FDIR, communication bus monitoring, SGP4 orbit propagation, as well as estimator and control algorithms for virtually all ADCS control modes. On top of the control modes available on the CubeADCS, this 3-Axis adds the capability to perform a 3-axis pointing in any direction.
