MAI-100
Complete standalone attitude determination and control system for microsatellites. Includes 3 axis reaction / momentum wheels, electromagnets, magnetometer, sun sensor, ADACS computer. Designed for mechanical compatibility with CubeSat kits.
MAI-101
Wheels only version of the MAI-100. Three 1.1 mNms reaction / momentum wheels in a 3" hermetically sealed package. No ADACS computer, electromagnets or sensors.
MAI-200
A larger version of the MAI-100 for minisats up to 20 kg. Achieves 10x the momentum capacity of the MAI-100 with high speed motors. Includes 3 axis reaction / momentum wheels, electromagnets, magnetometer, sun sensor, ADACS computer. Same weight and size as the MAI-100.
MAI-201
Wheels only version of the MAI-200. Three 11 mNms reaction / momentum wheels in a 3" hermetically sealed package. No ADACS computer, electromagnets or sensors. Same weight and size.
Static Earth Sensor
Earth limb sensor for day/night attitude determination. Two are required for roll and pitch sensing.
Dynamic Simulator
Facilitates real time hardware-in-the-loop simulation of miniADACS products. Runs on PC and interfaces with MAI-100 / 200 / 300. Run different mission scenarios and verify ADACS performance. A necessity for ground test and control law and software validation.
