Acceleration Measurement System (AMS)

Achieve unmatched mission precision in the harshest environments

The Acceleration Measurement System (AMS) provides mission-critical Delta-V and acceleration data for precise spacecraft maneuvers. Voyager’s AMS is a key component of a complete high performance GN&C system. Combining the AMS with Voyager’s star and sun trackers provides a complete inertial measurement platform.
