Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC)
Spacecraft Attitude Control
Simulation of a spacecraft in low earth orbit (LEO) using Basilisk and visualization using Vizard. The attitude of the spacecraft is controlled using MRPs.
bsk_pointing_gs_zallaq.mp4Solar Panels pointing towards a ground station.
Zallaq Station shown.
bsk_pointing_nadir.mp4Detumbling the spacecraft using reaction wheels.
Attitude control for nadir pointing with one face.
bsk_thruster_spiral.mp4Astrobatics
Thrusters firing up to spin the spacecraft; featuring ASTROBATICS with colorful plumes.
Spacecraft in Low Earth Orbit (LEO).
Attitude Control with Actuators
Simulation of attitude control of a spacecraft in low earth orbit (LEO) using reaction wheels and thrusters with intermittent firing scheme.
bsk_attitude_control_thruster.mp4Pyramid configuration of reaction wheels controlling the angular rates of the spacecraft.
bsk_attitude_control_thruster.mp4Set of 8 thrusters firing intermittently to control the attitude and angular rate of the spacecraft.
