LEO Satellite 6-DOF Simulation implemented in C++ with project setup/build in C-make
Featuring Attitude Control, Orbit Control/station-keeping, and optimization for RCS thruster usage.
(Currently In Development), (I expect to be finished by the middle of December 2022)
Calendar progress goals:
-by Nov 15 fully setup attitude portion of sim (does not include testing)
-by Nov 17 have orbit controller/stationkeeping controller setup
-by December 1st be in tuning phase
-finish by Christmas by the absolute latest
[break until thanksgiving break]
During thanksgiving break:
-setup orbit portion of sim for a simple circular LEO Orbit, no need to setup realistic perturbations just yet
-setup VUW attitude frame as reference frame
-work on making an in house r,v to keplerian elements conversion software in C++ to implement in this sim
Development progress log:
-Nov 13: got controller setup to add and convert quaternions into the comparative MRP for the attitude control law, controller seems all setup
