Attitude Control System for Cube- SAR — PI: Dr. Anton de Ruiter. The implementation of SAR on small satellites is an emerging area of interest in the  international space community, as it would reduce the cost of future SAR missions. In order to achieve SAR implementation on this type of platform,  there is a need to adapt the technology. This  project aims to analyze and design an attitude control system ( ACS ) for SAR implementation on small satellites (CubeSats). In particular, tools will be  developed to optimize ACS design for CubeSat-based SAR missions and to analyze  their performance. The development of Canadian expertise in this area will  allow Canada to maintain its position as a leader in the field of SAR satellites.
