Attitude Detection and Control is required for any satellite system and small satellites are no exception. Until now most small and nanosatellites used only very simple and rudimentary attitude control systems. This can now change with the development of Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) and other small consumer electronics devices and manufacturing techniques. New control systems are now needed for missions such as nanosatellite formation flying missions and space-based interferometry. We have developed Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) using MEMS components that use less than 0.6 watts of power and have a mass under 50 grams. It can be used for micro and nanosatellite systems as well as UAV applications. Other more sensitive platforms are also in work. MASIMU01
