Control Design of a 1U ADCS mockup equipped with reaction wheels

Sammanfattning

This thesis aims to simulate and implement the attitude control of a satellite usingreaction wheels. It may also be viewed as a practical guide designed to explain, in asimple and accessible way, how to directly implement an attitude controller. Thework first introduces the mathematical formulation of the problem, followed by itssimulation in Simulink. Since the research work has already been carried out, thereader is provided with a fully functional model, along with precise references tobooks and articles for those wishing to explore the topic further. The obtained resultsare presented and interpreted, offering a first demonstration of the controller. Toconclude this work, a dedicated program has been developed to automaticallydetermine the controller parameters based on the physical characteristics of thesatellite. In summary, this thesis is recommended for anyone wishing to implementattitude control by themselves, providing in just a few minutes a clear, global, andfunctional understanding of the subject.
