Summary
Tensor Tech ADCS TestBed is designed for CubeSats up to 16U and small satellites with ADCS weighing less than 30kg. It serves as a comprehensive tool for ADCS calibration, measurement of mass properties, and the testing and validation of ADCS algorithms. The ADCS Testbed consists of an air-bearing platform, a triaxial Helmholtz cage, and a solar simulator. It is easily customizable and can be adapted to fit customer-specific requirements.

Key features
- A spherical air bearing platform, made with non-magnetic materials, to simulate 3DOF motion in space
- A 3-axis magnetic cage to simulate Earth's magnetic field in space
- Sunlight source and darkroom to simulate sun in space
- The system utilizes a "hardware in the loop" setup
- A 3-axis Helmholtz Cage with jigs included for co-working with the platform
