Microaccelerometer MAC-03


Microaccelerometer MAC-03 is the electrostatic type with the cubic proof mass in a small cavity. MAC-03 has two measurement ranges and fully new redesigned electronic detector POSDET of proof mass position in the cavity. More about you can find in paper Microaccelerometer MAC-03 on board of MIMOSA mini-satelite , published on the 2nd IAA Symposium on Small Satellites for Earth Observation, Berlin, March 12-16th. 1999.

Paper describes the relation between the POSDET and the whole microaccelerometer stability. There is given comparison of stability between the old POSDET-1 used on RESURS and Space Shuttle flight and advanced type POSDET-3, prepared for MIMOSA project. Paper also describes the block diagram of MAC and gives some basic information about the MIMOSA mini - satellite.
