Abstract
CubeSats, as a compact and miniaturized version of traditional Satellites, are nowadays a trend thanks to the numerous goals reached by the space agencies missions. Among the various companies involved in the space field, Argotec is participating to NASA Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission with its CubeSat Light Italian CubeSat for Imaging of Asteroids (LICIACube). Since the goal of the mission is to acquire many pictures during a high-speed fly-by of an asteroid, the Attitude Determination Control System (ADCS) is a critical part of LICIACube. The design of an attitude control system for small satellites is a challenging task, especially when high velocity - high precision is asked and to include the adaptability to different satellites.
Different approaches are possible, each with its own pros/cons, strictly depending on situations
