Needronix is a small company focused on the research and development of space technologies.

At AAC Clyde Space we specialise in providing advanced small spacecraft, mission services, and subsystems. We are the market leader in small satellite solutions and services for government, commercial, and educational organisations.

SpaceQuest's ADC (Attitude Determination & Control)  units help you keep your spacecraft in a healthy orientation.

Attitude sensors augment your situational awareness and might be essential to your mission. Our Attitude control devices, both passive and active, give you the flexibility to control your spacecraft without the high cost of other systems. All of our ADC units are small and friendly to your power budget.

Item Description

• GPS-12-V1 Space-Qualified GPS Receiver
• MAG-3 Three-Axis Magnetometer
• MW-1000 Reaction / Momentum Wheel (1 Nms)

The CubeSat AOCS pack enables three-axis attitude control of CubeSats.

It is a product of SFL presenting high performance actuator and sensor package that draws directly from CanX-2 heritage and proven on-orbit performance. This suite of attitude sensors and actuators enables detumbling maneuvers, nadir pointing and three-axis inertial pointing while adhering to strict volume, mass and power constraints. The reaction wheels are smaller versions of the CanX-2 reaction wheel, developed in collaboration with Sinclair Interplanetary.

Sputnix Ltd is a Russian company with activity in the field of small spacecraft Attitude Control and Determination Systems (ACDS).

Sputnix Ltd proposes design, development and test for ACDS systems. Another important activity of Sputnix is to design and manufacture a small spacecraft platform called TabletSat – a 10-12 kg SC platform for implementation of technological experiments in space.

It is a subsidiary company of the SCANEX Research and Development Center (ScanEx – the leading Russian company on the remote sensing market, specializing in receiving of Earth observation images from space, its thematic processing and distribution).

Sputnix Ltd's activity was initiated by the ScanEx Satellite Technology Division. This division developed a three-axes stabilization Attitude Control and Determination System (ACDS) for a small satellite Chibis-M. The Chibis-M spacecraft was successfully launched into orbit on 25 January 2012. Sputnix Ltd was established in 2011.
