Based on the experiences with the BIRD Attitude Control System Test Facility during the last years, recent approaches and the requirements of state-of-the-art attitude control systems, Astro- und Feinwerktechnik Adlershof GmbH has developed and built a new ACS Test Facility for the verification of micro and mini satellite busses.
- air bearing table with a platform allowing free 360° rotation around the vertical axis and between 20° and 30° around the horizontal axes
- high precision in-orbit earth magnetic field simulation
- electronic center of gravity (CoG) calibration
- adjustable and movable sun simulation
- WiFi command line
- safety mechanisms for save operation and satellite mounting
- power supply and distribution for the test object
@fenomenax The real test were easy to do but the discussions with our "art director" took some long evenings and nights. The film sesion was completed in one day. The final movie was presented some weeks later I would say.
