Simulation of spacecraft flight

Enabling space simulators

OrbiCraft 3D is oriented in space by the light flux from the Sun simulator and the vector of the magnetic field created by the magnetic field simulator. Turn on the control panel and run the control software for the space simulation system. Select the menu item Equipment Management and Manual Field Management (Picture 1):

Turn on the Sun simulator.

Simulation of spacecraft flight

Apply pressure to the airship. Send the command 5-F002 tc_adcs_mode_eci_euler (Picture 3):

Picture 3. Sending a command

Since in our case the device rotates around the vertical Y axis, then enter in the appropriate field the value of the angle by which the 3D OrbiCraft should rotate (Picture 4):

Picture 4. Entering the appropriate angle value

The device will rotate on the stand at the specified angle. The graph shows the change in Euler angles (Picture 5):

Picture 5. Changing Euler angles

If you set all Euler angles to 0 degrees, then OrbiCraft 3D will rotate to its initial position (Picture 6):
