Small satellites require a good orientation regulation that allows them to counteract disturbances once in orbit, however, testing in operation is complicated, so tools that represent the behavior of a satellite are required to assess the feasibility of regulators. This work deals with the construction of a device based on a pneumatic bearing and reaction wheels motors, capable of representing the rotational movement of a satellite in orbit describing the construction process; the devices used, and the configuration of the sensors; likewise, operational tests are carried out on the measurement of the orientation and attenuation of interference caused by the air flow of the pneumatic device and the vibrations generated by the movement of the motors.

Palabras llave : Air bearing; Reaction wheels; Satellites; Orientation regulator; Inertial measurement unit.
