Research project where was developed a new Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC) law for Attitude Determination and Control Systems (ADCS) of CubeSat satellites.

An early version of the RW model. Used the motor properties obtained from a previous project in which a DCPM motor was characterized.

A multi-loop (two control loops) for the attitude control of a 1U CubeSat. The inner loop is about the dynamics of the characterized RW. The external loop is about the satellite dynamics.

Cascade control response with enviromental disturbes included.

In figure:

• Magenta: reaction wheel's angular speed (\omega_r(t)).
• Red: satellite attitude in (roll (x(t))).
• Cyan: setpoint, from 0 to 1° in 10 seconds.
