Propuesta de implementación del sistema de orientación para un picosatélite en órbita

Abstract

The Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas satellite project has a requirement to orientation and stabilization of the special shuttle system in its orbit to obtain the right orientation that allows communication to the earth station. This requirement is obtained by means of the system implementation with actuators and sensors to data acquisition and satellite reorientation. Considering that to this project the proposal is to use a magnetometer as actuator, as well as sun sensors implementation places them in each Pico satellite side. Allowing fast actions and using less memory in main program. Making an express actions adjustment of each observable steps over earth station. To get this objective the calculations of the simulation they were making over the SPG4 base and AGI software. Allowing disturbances and vehicle’s keplerian elements temporary variations data generation during its useful life.
