OrbiCraft 3D is an educational kit for nanosatellite platform design.

The kit allows:

  • develop and test orientation and stabilization algorithms using reaction wheels, solar, magnetic field, and angular velocity sensors;
  • practice receiving and transmitting information via the UHF radio channel, simulating directional radio communication;
  • simulate the Earth remote sensing process;
  • design the Arduino Mega based payload, connect Troyka modules;
  • gain skills in programming, sensor calibration, and data processing from different types of sensors.

The kit is delivered in a basic configuration with a flywheel for rotation in one axis. It can be updated by the 3-axis module.
It is possible to complete the orientation and stabilization tasks with the help of the lifting bar using a thread (one-axis) or lifting frame (3-axis).
RECOMMENDATION: 1 KIT FOR 3-5 STUDENTS
