iLAuNCH-Innovative Vectored Thrust Control System for Enhanced Manoeuvrability of Small Satellites

This project aims to pioneer Australia's first vectored thrust technology for small satellites, using a state-of-the-art deformable structure. This cutting-edge system will be integrated into Azista's attitude control system (ADCS), offering unprecedented precision manoeuvring and responsiveness of small satellites enabling them with new capabilities for applications in earth observation, secure communications, and optical alignment. The initiative will culminate in a CubeSat deployment to validate the technology's market readiness. The project encompasses three key components: a high-precision pointing mechanism via the deformable structure, the next-gen cold gas thrusters 'Bogong II, and the Azista CubeSat equipped with advanced controllers.
