Description
The Avionics Centralized Unit (ACU) from Aerospacelab integrates all the essential functionalities to manage a satellite platform. It provides in one subsystem the features typically spread over multiple subsystems: on-board computer, S-band TTC transceiver, GNSS receiver, thermal management, various subsystems drivers (magnetorquers, HDRM), communication and power interfaces. Identical modules can be used multiple times to enable redundancy and increase reliability.
