Demonstrate platform technologies with focus on camera, COTS components and ADCS. |
| Description |
Platform verification. The space environmental adaption and application of the various parts including the miniaturized commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) MEMS accelerometers and gyroscopes, the in-house-developed panoramic CMOS camera and the novel tri-junction solar cells were to be experimented. Attitude determination and control experimentation. The correctness and effectiveness of the attitude determination and control scheme were to be evaluated via attitude de-tumbling and stabilizing experiments. Micro panoramic camera. Momentum wheel is employed to offer gyro stiffness stability in the pitch. |
