Analysis of a magnetic three-axis stabilized attitude control system for the NPSAT1 spacecraft

The NPSAT1 satellite uses an active magnetic torque rod system, with a magnetometer for attitude determination, to maintain 3-axis stabilization, with a slightly gravity gradient friendly structure. This thesis will examine the performance of three combinations of programs and simulation models for...
