Simulation platform for the attitude and orbit control system design of small satellites

Ning Liu

Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

A platform was developed to simulate attitude and orbit control system design of small satellites graphical output. The software calculates the orbital dynamics, interfaces with the satellite attitude determination and control system (ADCS) program and produces 3D output of the simulation result. The software was developed to design orbits for formation flying and to test the ADCS program. The 3D realtime display demonstrates orbit and attitude motion during launch, telemetry and telecommand operations and applications of the satellites. 
