A tutorial chapter in our textbook provides a complete spacecraft design and includes all of the MATLAB code needed to replicate the results. All of the functions and scripts in this chapter are included in this app.
- Compare point mass and spherical harmonic gravity models
- Compute the downlink power on the ground from the spacecraft in orbit
- Numerically simulate a geostationary satellite orbit
- Perform a 6 dof simulation of satellite attitude and orbit with thermal, power, and communication subsystems; includes a discrete proportional derivative attitude controller
- Temperature, force and power on solar panels due to solar flux
