Analyticon control satellite attitude

Stevenage based Analyticon have been working with SSTL for over 2 years on the GIOVE-A satellite and are currently running simulations to ensure a successful launch.

Analyticon was responsible for designing the attitude control system for the satellite which will ensure that the satellite is pointing the right way whilst it travels round its orbit. The company has also been designing the orbit control system and orbit geometry .

It is also responsible for the mission analysis, including the eventual 'graveyard' orbit which will be implemented when the satellite has come to the end of its lifetime.
