Contributor Brouwer, G.F. (mentor) Bouwmeester, J. (mentor) Faculty Aerospace Engineering Department Space Engineering Programme Space Systems Engineering Date 2012-03-08 Abstract To improve the pointing capabilities of nanosatellites a fast response attitude control system is required. Reaction wheels are an effective solution and rely on the simple principle of conservation of angular momentum. Also they can be developed within the stringent budgets of nanosatellites with current technologies. The Delfi-n3Xt satellite of the Delft University of Technology also includes reaction wheels and this thesis covers the design, integration and verification of the Delfi-n3Xt reaction wheel system, which will be among the first three-axis reaction wheel systems for nanosatellites in space.
