ADDASAT Development Plan for the Attitude Control System

Abstract:

As a part of the ORVEAL project, a real scale laboratory model of the inertial platform for ADDASAT is developed by the joint ADDA and UPB teams, ensuring the capability of a three-axis attitude control demonstration in the ground laboratory that simulates weightlessness by low friction bearings. The study is part of the larger ADDA-UPB program for developing the low cost NERVA orbital system for applications in enhanced environmental policies and land resources surveillance. The ORVEAL research is granted by Romanian UEFISCDI financing authority.
