2 Product characteristics
The reaction wheel with integrated servo controller provides a defined angular momentum. It is
used to exchange an adjustable angular momentum with a satellite body. This induced angular
momentum can be used for alignment of the satellite body or for compensation of interferences
from the environment. The reaction wheel can be used in satellites with high demands for
alignment accuracy.
This document is intended to familiarize the user with the use of the cyber
®
reaction wheel 2.
Following the product specifications of the cyber
®
reaction wheel 2, the cyber
®
reaction wheel
starter kit and the cyber
®
reaction wheel assistant are the chapter on startup working with the
reaction wheel as well as prototypical integration into ADCS including a description of the
available interfaces SPI, I2C and UART.
In the end, integration into an ADCS is explained.
In addition, the software interface of the cyber
®
reaction wheel 2 is explained in the interface
control document.
