All Tensor Tech products, undergo rigorous quality assurance to ensure consistency. The company offers a wide range of space-qualified products, including ADCS, CMGs, FSS, and control systems that improve satellite performance and reliability. Notable for its innovative variable-speed control moment gyroscope, Tensor Tech addresses satellite miniaturization challenges and provides flexible, cost-effective solutions to the global space industry.

Motors are everywhere in our daily lives. However, to achieve multiple degrees of freedom motion control, the user needs multiple motors. These bulky motors occupy precious volume, mass, and power for the payload/cargo and therefore limit the commercial value that people can extract per mission/vehicle. To overcome such physics limitations, Tensor Tech invents the world’s first commercial spherical motor. Such one spherical motor can do the job of multiple traditional motors. Offered with complete motion control solutions, the users can adopt this elegant motion control system while maintaining its original interface, but with a double Volume, Mass, and Power budget for its payload/cargo. This solution is now offered for multiple satellite missions, more applications for UAVs, EVs, and beyond are on their way. We hope the data collection, cargo delivery, and passenger transportation of tomorrow can be more efficient.

• Integrated Attitude Determination and Control System:
The ADCS series represents an extensive range of integrated Attitude Determination and Control Systems (ADCS) for nano and microsatellite missions. Central to our design is a variable-speed, single-gimbal Control Moment Gyroscope (CMG), enhancing the system’s torque-to-power ratio. Ranging from models tailored for 3U CubeSats to those optimized for 12U or 16U platforms, each prioritizes lightweight structures, improved power efficiency, and a compact form-factor fitting within a CubeSat structure. Our user-intuitive interfaces, onboard attitude determination, and automated modes ensure streamlined satellite operations. Whether for earth observation or precise maneuvering, the ADCS series provides enhanced agility for mission success. Custom configurations are available upon consultation for specialized needs.
• Control Moment Gyroscope:
The CMG Series sets a new standard in nanosatellite attitude control, offering various benefits over reaction wheels. With a design focusing on reduced weight, volume, and power consumption, our gyroscopes deliver a performance that competes with and often surpasses advanced actuators.
• Fine Sun Sensor:
The FSS-15 sun sensor is a satellite attitude determination system based on an advanced photodiode quadrant detector shielded by an aperture mask. This design ensures sun incidence measurements up to 0.1-degree accuracy.
• Attitude Determination and Control System TestBed:
The ADCS Testbed supports satellite missions that require advanced pointing and attitude determination capabilities, by facilitating calibration, measurement of the mass properties, and tests and validations of ADCS algorithms.
• Attitude and Orbit Control System:
The cornerstone of Tensor Tech’s AOCS solution is its AOCS computer, which follows industry standards to sustain space harsh environment.
• Attitude and Heading Reference System and Inertial Reference Unit:
The array-IMU technology is utilized with tactical grade performance out of automobile grade IMUs by filtering readouts from multiple IMUs (system architect).
The range of specifica-tions is demonstrated with the AHRS and IRU specs in the following table.
• Magnetorquers:
The MTQ board integrates two magnetorquers and one air coil onto a control board with embedded ADCS algorithms, providing detumbling functionality to CubeSat missions.
