An agile attitude control system (AACS) that is a three axis attitude control device for small spacecraft based on miniature single gimbal control moment gyroscopes (SGCMGs) actuators. The AACS enables agile attitude slewing and accurate pointing/tracking for spacecraft made of multiple CubeSat units, or, more generally, for nanosatellites.
