Attitude control systems

A repository of algorithms exploring the use of control systems applied to attitude control in spacecrafts.

The following algorithms are available:

• Attitude control PID

Attitude control PID

An object-oriented programming (OOP) code for attitude control of an spacecraft in low orbit arround a celestial body. It offers a model for orbital and attitude dynamics, attitude control and simulation.

⚙️ Features

• Orbital dynamics: simplified orbit propagation (2-body problem) and reference vectors generation.
• Attitude dynamics: rotational dynamics with Runge-Kutta 4th order (RK4) numerical integration.
• Attitude control: digital proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller.
• Animation and analysis: 3D animation of orbital and attitude moviment.
• Software structure: object-oriented architeture with independent classes and configuration file.

🎞️ Animation

• Orbit and attitude animation:

• Attitude errors:

  

• References and output angles:

  

This algorithm offers a simplified and modular version of the problem, heavily inspired by Spacecraft-Attitude-Control-System in
