Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) TSUBAME is the fourth satellite developed in the Laboratory for Space Systems (LSS) at Tokyo Institute of Technology and ISAS/JAXA. The 50kg TSUBAME is a demonstration microsatellite for Earth and astronomical observation technology. It is planned that TSUBAME will be launched into a sun-synchronous orbit at 500km altitude at the end of 2013.
With the purpose to push the envelope of what can be achieved by university satellite projects, a control moment gyros (CMG) is used for high-speed attitude maneuvering. Although CMG can produce larger torque compared with reaction wheels or magnetic torques but it is easy to be trapped in singularity. This challenge makes attitude determination and control system (ADCS) becomes one of the key technologies of TSUBAME.
This paper describes an architecture of the ADCS, its components, algorithms, implementation and verification methods. Main aspects of the ADCS are new proposed attitude control and attitude determination algorithms, a multiplicity of sensors and actuators due to redundancy and/or power saving, and a health monitoring system to reduce the possibility of system failures. Finally, the paper shows some numerical simulated results of the main ADCS working modes. The numerical simulations are conducted based on a hardware-in-the-loop test platform, which was built for simulating on-orbit environment together with real flight-software and sensors, actuators hardware of the TSUBAME.
