Faradine Systems engineer Jason Rexroat lays out action items for the University of Kentucky team responsible for the delivery of SgSat for flight later this year. SgSat is a 1U cubesat designed to prove the concept of a stellar gyroscope (SG). Developed by Dr. Samir Rawashdeh, the SG is a novel system of small satellite attitude determination that utilizes successive star field photos to determine relative motion in space. The determination method was originally tested on KySat-2, which Jason and I helped build while researchers in the UK Space Systems Lab as part of a large team representing multiple universities and organizations across the sate.
