Spacecraft Attitude Dynamics and Control

spacecraft /

Spacecraft attitude dynamics and control is a study that encompasses kinematics, rigid-body dynamics, linear control theory and orbital environmental effects. This block models attitude dynamics using numerical integration. Spacecraft use thrusters to propel themselves in specific directions, however this approach has its limitations, including fuel usage and thruster cycle time. An alternative would be relying […]

Spacecraft dynamics is an engineering discipline encompassing rigid-body and multi-body analyses as well as orbital mechanics and attitude control. The Spacecraft Dynamics block supports expansion of all input ports except Moon libration angles and Spin axis right ascension at J2000 (when Central body is Custom). This enables the model to accurately simulate gravity gradient effects

Spacecraft dynamics is the subfield of celestial mechanics which studies human-created objects’ movements through space. It encompasses calculations, refinement and planning for such bodies such as spacecraft or satellites. Spacecraft Dynamics block computes position, velocity and attitude over time of six degree-of-freedom rigid-body systems with six degrees-of-freedom rigid bodies. Mass tab allows specifying an initial
