Attitude and orbit control systems
ISIS Magnetorquer Board
Innovative Solutions in Space(ISIS)
The ISIS MagneTorQuer board (iMTQ) is a PCB based 3-axis magnetic system. It is designed to provide maximum flexibility in placing actuators and magnetometer in a CubeSat structure. Providing actuation of 0.2Am2, the system can be placed in a stack or in between stacks in ISIS cubesat structures.
