CubeSat technology is evolving rapidly. With the increased performance of these small spacecraft platforms, astronomical missions on CubeSats will be flown in the near future. These types of missions have very demanding requirements in terms of spacecraft pointing. At the KU Leuven university, we have developed a compact, highaccuracy attitude determination and control system for CubeSats. The system uses three reaction wheels and a star tracker to deliver high agility and accuracy. In this paper, we will discuss the test and calibration campaign that was carried out. This campaign was instrumental in achieving the performance required by astronomical missions.
