KOMPSAT-2 needs fine accuracy attitude control when it is operated in Science mode. Reaction Wheel is a necessary part of fine controlling the attitude of satellite. The reaction Wheel Assembly(RWA) is a device which provides reaction torque for attitude-control of spacecraft. It consists of an electric motor, a rotating flywheel, motor control device electrics, commutation electronics and associated power converters. This document identifies what activities to be carried out to integrate the RW#1 for ETB tests.
