Laboratory facility for testing of micro- and nanosatellite attitude control systems

S. P. Karpenko, M. Yu. Ovchinnikov

Abstract: A problem of attitude simulation for SC in laboratory conditions is discussed. Validation of attitude control systems for micro- and nanosatellites is paid attention on. Review of simulation facilities developed abroad is given. Detailed description of the laboratory facility having been under development at KIAM RAS is presented.

Keywords: laboratory facility for simulation, microsatellite, string suspended body, Helmholtz coils, attitude determination algorithm, magnetic stabilization.
