The attitude control system is a system that controls the motion of an artificial satellite. When you want to communicate with an artificial satellite on the ground or observe the earth with an artificial satellite, you need to point the observation device toward the earth in a direction where the radio waves are strong. Additionally, in space, satellites are subject to sunlight pressure (solar radiation pressure) and air pressure, so unless attitude control is performed, the satellite will rotate. Therefore, we perform "attitude determination," which uses sensors to check the orientation and rotation of the satellite, and "attitude control," which uses actuators to control the orientation and rotation. In this project, we are implementing the following.
・Creation of attitude control equipment (sun sensor/magnetic torquer)
・Integration of each attitude control device (self-made device, magnetic sensor, gyro sensor)
・Creation of posture determination and posture control laws (Currently using Arduino)
・Creation of attitude control simulator (currently using Scilab)
