Space Micro and Maryland Aerospace propose a novel Attitude Determination and Control Product for long life, high reliability cubesat missions in severe radiation environments. The uADCS concept proposed will achieve 0.05deg pointing control accuracy for a 3U cubesat. The technology is scalable to larger satellites in a modular configuration. Key innovations include a hybrid optical assembly, automated reaction wheel calibration and new radiation mitigation techniques in a heterogeneous processor.
