Study of attitude control of a 1U Cubesat

In the thesis the analysis and comparison of different Degrees of freedom effecting a CubeSat using different methods of simulink block parameters. A nonlinear mathematical model of spacecraft dynamics was presented. A Euler angle based PIDcontroller is used to calculate the orientating rotation of the CubeSat.In the systemthe reaction wheel were given a certain inertia without the configuration as the simulation and the testing is at an early stage. The understanding of how to construct asimulink block set for controlling a cubesat is discussed in this thesis.The numericalbased algorithm is computed by the Matlab/Simulink which intern is a numerical based analysis. The controller provides simulation based accuracy in Euler angleswith together the quaternions formulations as well. The VR(Virtual Reality) sink ablock set which shows the 3D orientation of the cube Sat.Finally some conclusionswere drawn from the results of the simulation and recommendations for future workis remarked
