Field notes
The page breaks the attitude-control system into a CB-1 flight computer, RW-10 single-axis momentum wheels, and MTQ-1 air-core torque rods. It specifies interfaces including I²C, UART, and PWM, along with component masses and operating ranges. The described integrated option combines four reaction wheels, three magnetorquers, and the controller in a 0.5U module, while the individual units can also be integrated separately.
