AAS 01-311 DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A NANOSATELLITE ATTITUDE DETERMINATION AND CONTROL SYSTEM

The Virginia Tech HokieSat is part of an Air Force initiative for students to design and build satellites. The mission requires an attitude determination and control system (ADCS) that provides adequate control of the spacecraft within a satellite formation, despite its relatively small size and constrained budget, while minimizing power use during flight operations. This paper outlines the development of an ADCS using simple, inexpensive off-the-shelf components and unique algorithms that provide for reliable control over the mission lifetime.
