Description
In 2023, iXblue will release the space-qualified Astrix NS. Astrix NS is a 3-axis gyroscope that covers the needs of the future space missions: compact, cost-efficient, versatile without compromise on reliability and performance. Astrix NS is the latest member of the Astrix family that have demonstrated 6 000 000 hours of cumulated flight in-orbit without incident.
In this presentation and following the successful CDR of June 2022, iXblue will show the latest results of the Astrix NS including inertial performances and validation of the main environments as vacuum, thermal cycling and shock/vibrations. We will also unveil the IMU version, based on Astrix NS architecture and including iXblue accelerometers. Finally, we will present various potential uses of Astrix IMU and gyroscope for missions like orbital maneuvers, orbit rising or planetary landing.
Astrix NS is supported by CNES and designed by iXblue with the support of Airbus Defence & Space for the space qualification.
