IMU-P4

Inertial Measurement Unit with integrated gyroscope, accelerometer and magnetometer for satellites.

View module

Magnetorquer

The MT-P4 magnetorquer rod is an integrated solution designed for momentum dumping of LEO satellites.

View module

STR-P4

Star Tracker unit for mini- and microsatellites.

The star tracker is based on advanced star-tracking algorithms developed by Space Inventor. The embedded computer processing unit is built on highly reliable COTS components. The compact rad-hard camera’s optics collect enough signal to track across the entire celestial vault with full performance up to 0.3º/s.

View module

Fine Sun Sensor

The highly integrated fine sun sensor uses four photodiodes to estimate the sun direction vector with a precision of 1º.

View module

OBC

The OBC-P4 is an onboard computing platform consisting of four independent ARM Cortex-M7 modules, each with separate power supply, interfacing, and storage.
