| Description |
Technology demonstration and education/ training in the field of satellite technology. A GPS receiver will get GPS signals to determine the satellite’s position accurately. Therefore 3-axes stabilization will be realized with reaction wheels and magnetorquers. A camera will take pictures of the Earth to verify the attitude of the satellite. Target for BIROS microsatellite making use of only optical or vision-based navigation which approached to 50 meters. |
