OreSat ADCS Software

Python package to assist with the Attitude Determination and Conrol System (ADCS) of OreSat satellites.

Getting Started

Please use pip to install from github.

pip install git+https://github.com/oresat/oresat-adcs-software.git (or some variation)

The package is named oresat_adcs so for your python script, import the subpackages you want

For example

from oresat_adcs.function import vector

Some object instances require loading a json configuration. See examples.

Submodules

oresat_adcs.functions

Each module in the functions subpackage hold a collection of functions to use

• vector: For vector operations
• quaternion: For quaternion operations
• frame: For coordinate transformations

oresat_adcs.configuration

Each module contains classes for customizable objects. Some of these may import oresat_adcs.functions

• structure: For satellite harware (Satellite walls, magnetorquers, reaction wheels, etc.)
• environment: For orbital parameters (drag, gravity, etc.) at a specific moment and location
• state_machine: For state machine handling of missions and mission transitions

oresat_adcs.classes

Predefined classes

These typically depend on both oresat_adcs.functions and oresta_adcs.configuration

• jday: (Julian Day) Keep track of time
• sensors: Represent common sensors
• dynamic: Handles dynamics from the environment
• observer: Observer for control theory
• controller: Controller for control theory

oresat_adcs.system

• simulator: Simulates an orbit for testing ADCS controllers
• manager: Combines controllers and observers into a complete feedback system
• manager_class: Combines controllers and observers into a complete feedback system
