Simulate and visualize a CubeSat’s attitude dynamics using Earth’s magnetic field and on-board magnetic torquers.
This SCILAB-based framework computes quaternion evolution, angular rates, pointing error, magnetic dipole moments, and applied control torques.
- Quaternion Dynamics: Full 3-axis kinematic propagation.
- Magnetic Torquer Control: Bang-bang and PD controllers using Earth’s magnetic field model.
- Performance Metrics: Settling time, steady-state pointing error, mean & peak dipole moment.
- Automated Logging: Save simulation outputs and plotted figures.
