Development of a nanosatellite attitude control simulator for ground-based research
Abstract
The work presented in this paper details the design, development, and functional verification of a nanosatellite attitude control simulator (NACS). The NACS consists of a mock 1U CubeSat (MockSat), tabletop air-bearing, and automatic balancing system (ABS). The MockSat employs a reaction wheel array to exchange momentum with the rigidly attached air bearing platform, and an inertial measurement unit to obtain state estimates. The ABS tunes the …
