An improved nanosatellite attitude control simulator for experimental research
Abstract
This paper details the design, fabrication, and development of an improved 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 rigidlyattached air bearing platform, and an inertial measurement unit to obtain orientation and angular velocity estimates. The ABS tunes …
