The simulation of a zero-gravity environment on earth for attitude control experiments is sophisticated. Here in Tensor Tech, we provide a platform with:
- Spherical Air Bearing Platform to simulate 3DOF motion in space
- 3-axis magnetic cage to simulate earth magnetic field in space
- Sunlight source and darkroom to simulate sun in space
Using the above equipment, our customer can test their satellite attitude control system in a “hardware in the loop”.
