This article reports the ongoing work on an environment for hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and
software-in-the-loop (SIL) tests of CubeSats and the benefits gained from using such an …

Modern control algorithms based on artificial intelligence have shown good results in many
application fields. That is why some researchers have made an effort to introduce them in …

This thesis presents a methodology for testing the attitude determination and control of a
CubeSat within a constrained environment. This approach first evaluates the concept of …

The ground-based spacecraft dynamics simulator plays an important role in the
implementation and validation of attitude control scenarios before a mission. The …

This paper focuses on investigating and analyzing hybrid control strategies of onboard
magnetic torque bars (MTs) and reaction wheels (RWs) for attitude stabilization on three …

A Satellite Attitude Dynamics Simulator is a low-cost, ground-based system made to
simulate the conditions of a weightless satellite in space. The identification of the mass …

Recent trends indicate an increase in the number of small satellite missions, which can be
developed more quickly and at a lower cost than traditional satellites. This has led to a …

The National Institute for Aerospace Technology NanoSat-1B Earth orbiting satellite uses
Sun sensors as part of the attitude determination and control system. The sensors have a …

This paper accomplishes one goal and it was to verify and to validate a Spin Magnetic
Attitude Control System (SMACS) program and to perform Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) air …

Most satellites use an on-board attitude estimation system, based on available sensors. In
the case of low-cost satellites, which are of increasing interest, it is usual to use …
