• Inertial Sensor (MIRAS-01) - SST

Changing the economics of space
The MIRAS-01 MEMS Inertial Rate Sensor
provides reliable three-axis rate measurements
to support attitude control. The unit gives
full performance over its entire operating
temperature range and does not require
active thermal control. The internal clock
can be synchronized to a pulse-per-second
input from an onboard time reference such
as the Surrey SGR-10 GPS receiver. Attitude
rate measurements are time-stamped. The
MIRAS-01 incorporates a test port to facilitate
hardware-in-the-loop simulation. The unit
accepts truth attitude rate via the test port and
outputs representative rate telemetry.
