CubeSat ADCS

A CubeSat attitude determination and control system.

Embedded SystemsC++SensorsReaction WheelsControl Theory

Overview

Development of a CubeSat attitude control stack including sensors, actuators, simulation, and control algorithms. This project extends the attitude control and simulation work from Spacecraft Dynamics Simulation and Balancing Triangle into a full CubeSat-class ADCS: sensor fusion from IMU/sun-sensor/magnetometer data, reaction-wheel and magnetorquer actuation, and a control stack validated in simulation before moving to hardware.
