Driving innovation for a new space era
Our new ACS patented linear configuration.
Better performance
Weight reduction
Volume reduction
Expanding Space Horizons
Decreasing the size of satellite constellations by
enhancing the orientation agility of each
individual satellite.
Orientation Accuracy
Sanzar’s ACS is capable of quickly orienting the satellite with a <0.5 degree precision in all 3 axes. Enhance communication capabilities and mapping coverage.
Spacecraft Agility
Allows the satellite to rotate up to 7.5 degrees per second. Each CMG can deliver the maximum angular momentum in less than 1 second in any plane perpendicular to the nutation axis.
Compact & Powerful
The whole ACS with 4 CMGs fits inside a 1U cube (0.097 x 0.097 x 0.097 cubic meters) making it easy to integrate in small satellites with our linear patented configuration.
Effortless Integration
The ACS is built by modules that can be adapted and distributed to fit the customer’s requirements and diverse satellite sizes. The ACS comes with the software needed to control the satellite attitude.
Power Efficiency
As opposite to reaction wheels, the constant rotation of the inertia wheel ensures steady and efficient operation without unnecessary current peaks. Reduces battery size and power requirements.
Volume of CMGs 0.097 x 0.097 x 0.0485 cubic meters (<0.5 U)
Volume of RWs 0.0485 x 0.0485 x 0.03 cubic meters
For satellites from 3 U up to 30 U
Uniform momentum distribution
Nominal satellite rotation of 7.5 deg/s
2 CMGs + 2 RWs
Volume of 0.097 x 0.097 x 0.097 cubic meters (<1 U)
For satellites from 3 U up to 30 U
Non-uniform momentum distribution
Nominal satellite rotation of 7.5 deg/s

Why Sanzar Group?
1
Current Attitude Control Systems (ACS) have a limited Torque/Weight ratio (Nm/kg), which restricts the operational range of a satellite's service capabilities. This limitation confines the satellite to a narrower range of applications and orbits. This limitation also requires the deployment of additional satellites to cover the desired terrain.
Limited Current Capabilities
2
Single satellites currently in orbit have a potentially larger service range that remains untapped due to these limitations. This results in a significant opportunity cost, as the full potential of individual satellites is not being utilized, leading to potentially millions in lost revenue.
Missed Oportunities
3
Our ACS offers a higher torque/weight ratio compared to existing and forthcoming market proposals, enabling a wider range of applications due to enhanced maneuverability. This leads to reduced opportunity and operational costs, diminish the necessity to launch additional satellites, and ultimately decrease space debris.
