  • Control Moment Gyro(CMG) is one of the most efficient momentum exchange devices for satellite attitude control and CMG is very essential device for agile satellite. In this study, the essential dynamic equation for the design of gimbal motor and wheel motor is summarized. The development process of SGCMG hardware for agile small satellite system, the description of developed hardware and its performance test results are presented. Test result shows that the developed hardware model can produce an output torque more than 1.2Nm as designed. Other test items are max. torque, gimbal bandwidth, minimum torque, torque error, gimbal rate error.

  • Control Moment Gyro(CMG) is one of the most efficient momentum exchange devices for satellite attitude control and CMG is very essential device for agile satellite. And the studies of CMG development and its application to satellite have been done extensively. In this study, the development process of SGCMG hardware for agile small satellite system, the developed hardware and its performance test results are presented. As a SGCMG test results, it is verified that the developed hardware model can produce torque more than 0.6Nm as is designed. By investigating its test data results, the issues that should be considered for the performance improvement and its application are discussed. The remedies for the identified issues are proposed for future study.
