Satellite Attitude And Orbit Control System Market Definition
A satellite attitude and orbit control system (AOCS) is a system that helps keep a satellite in the right position and path in space. They maintain orientation, orbit adjustment, stabilization, maneuvering, and mission execution. The satellite attitude and orbit control system (AOCS) ensures that the satellite remains in its desired orbit and orientation to carry out its mission effectively, whether that's Earth observation, communication, scientific research, or other purposes.
The main types of satellite attitude and orbit control systems are attitude control systems and orbit control systems. The attitude control system (ACS) encompasses the mechanisms and algorithms used to control the orientation and stabilization of a satellite in space. The various orbit class is geosynchronous orbit (geo), low earth orbit (LEO), medium earth orbit (MEO) with multiple satellite masses such as 10-100 kilogram (kg), 100-500 kilogram (kg), 500-1000 kilogram (kg), below 10 kilograms (kg), above 1000 kilogram (kg). These are used in various applications such as aviation and defense, transportation, and others, and also by various end-users such as commercial, military, and government, others.
