Project for improvements in the attitude control of a cubesat

Abstract

This project is a continuation of the worl of previous students in their bachelor thesis. A two-dimensional attitude control algorithm for a CubeSat is created in this paper, which builds on past work by other planners. This cubesat board consists of a microprocessor, an IMU, a motor driver, a Bluetooth module, an inertia wheel, and two magnetometers. This project is centred on the topic of magnetorquers. To do this, the board’s operation, including its components, is tested. A portion of the work is also spent on a magnetorquer, the code that governs the system’s behaviour, and designing and implementing a control code.
