Development and testing under real-world conditions of the Attitude Determination and Control System (ADCS) for observation microsatellites.
The project concerns the development and verification under real-world conditions of an Attitude Determination and Control System (ADCS) dedicated to observation microsatellites, in particular microsatellites equipped with SAR radar. The most important project results address key areas related to the effective use of microsatellites, i.e. (a) The ability to determine in real time the precise position of the satellite in orbit (below 1 m) and its orientation in space. It is important to ensure a good geolocation of the purpose of SAR imaging, as well as to address the problem of the imprecision of relative positioning (motion error). b) Possibility of time synchronisation of the transmitter and receiver of cooperative satellites for consistent signal processing and range measurement — a key property in the context of the operation of microsatellites in formation.
