Abstract
This chapter presents hardware and mathematical techniques to be used for CubeSat attitude determination and control systems (ADCS). Hardware control systems including reaction wheels and magnetorquers are considered along with attitude determination systems including optical and magnetic sensors and inertial measurement units. Mathematical techniques and the principles of attitude control are presented as well as mathematical techniques available to interface with ...
