Tubsat-B
Technical University of Berlin Satellite B
Following the success of the magnetic torque attitude control system that flew on Tubsat-A, researchers and students at Germany's Technical University of Berlin constructed Tubsat-B to test and demonstrate attitude control with a star sensor and three reaction wheels. An on-board 1m telescope is used for astronomy and for Earth observation at 10m resolution.
