About Paper:

Our poster discusses the Attitude Determination and Control System (ADCS) software architecture for REALOP, UC Davis' first, and completely undergraduate-led, CubeSat mission. Once launched into space, the CubeSat will rotate in an unpredictable manner, known as tumbling. ADCS is in charge of detumbling and pointing the Raspberry Pi camera on the satellite towards the Earth. While in orbit, Sun and magnetic field sensor data is used to determine the orientation of the satellite. Once the current orientation is determined, the ADCS software calculates how to best control the actuators, which are the hardware mechanisms used to point the satellite in the desired direction. These actuators include magnetorquers, which are used to reduce tumbling in the satellite, as well as reaction wheels and hard disk drives (HDDs), which are used to rotate the satellite about one axis to point toward the Earth. Combined with additional subsystems, ADCS will be used to demonstrate the feasibility of low-cost satellite control methods.
