Currently more than 50 research groups around the world are developing CubeSat-class nanosatellites for technology demonstration and scientific and student training missions. CubeSat, in general, is described as a class of nanosatellites ranging from 1 kg, 10 × 10 × 10 cm 3, and upwards in 10 cm increments of length. The development of CubeSat-class nanosatellites started in 1999 as a collaborative effort between California Polytechnic State University and Stanford University and has achieved great success as a way to efficiently construct and orbit small, inexpensive satellites using commercial technology. The development of nanosatellites (with a mass of 1–10 kg) is currently a significant trend in the area of space science and engineering research.

CONTROL DESIGN AND SIMULATION MODULE LABVIEW 2013 VERIFICATION

In this paper, we present an overview of the embedded attitude control system design the verification results from numerical simulation studies to demonstrate the performance of a CubeSat-class nanosatellite and a series of air-bearing verification tests on nanosatellite attitude control system hardware that compares the performance of the proposed nonlinear controller with a proportional-integral-derivative controller. Significant design work has been conducted to realize the proposed architecture. Fine control is achieved through the use of three reaction wheels or three magnetorquers and one reaction wheel along the pitch axis. In this proposed embedded attitude control system design for a 1U CubeSat, pointing is obtained through a two-stage approach involving coarse and fine control modes. The accuracy and precision requirements are even more challenging for small satellites where limited volume, mass, and power are available for the attitude control system hardware. The attitude control system architecture is a crucial subsystem for any satellite mission since precise pointing is often required to meet mission objectives.
