Custom satellite example

NASA's ACS3 Solar Sail Mission

For NASA's Advanced Composite Solar Sail System (ACS3) mission, NanoAvionics developed a custom small satellite bus to support an 80-square-meter solar sail. This required a complex frame design and a sophisticated Attitude and Orbit Control System (AOCS) to manage the high mass of inertia.
