Abstract:
The READY ADCS product family consists of an off-the-shelf turnkey ADCS solution for 6U/16U to micro and mini sats platforms. It guarantees high precision, stability and agility in a mass/power/volume efficient package. Its core architecture, based on Skylabs NanoOBC-hpm, provides high reconfigurability and flexibility for a wide range of LEO Earth Observation missions, extendable to Communication or In-orbit Servicing missions and to GEO. Through an extensive catalogue of PUS services, the READY ADCS product is fully commandable and parameterizable from ground and/or platform OBC, and its telemetry is fully accessible and configurable. The READY-200 product (designed for miniSats from 150 kg to 400 kg) is being qualified up to TRL6 in the frame of SAT4EOCE ESA co-funded activity, with a first flight already booked in 2026 in the DRACO mission (Destructive Re-entry Assessment Container Object). Exploiting the heritage from READY-200, reconfigurations are on-going to make the product fully European, and missionize/qualify it to microSat, 16U and 6U use cases. An IOD mission is planned along the second half of 2025 to enhance the TRL of the product to 8/9.
