CubeSat Magnetorquer SatBus MTQ

The minimum order quantity for this subsystem is 20 pieces.

Magnetorquers “SatBus MTQ”, designed by NanoAvionics, is a set of two (X and Y-axis) magnetorquer rods and one air core Z-axis magnetorquer coil that are mounted on a PC/104 form factor PCB to enable nanosatellite attitude control.

The system is designed as a part of NanoAvionics “SatBus” nanosatellite platform but can be used with any third party ADCS controllers that can provide 3 H-bridge PWM controlled voltage outputs to each torquer coil.
