Abstract:
The purpose of the ARIES-DYNAMICS experiment is to increase the knowledge of aerospace engineering specialized in CubeSat technology. In addition, the project allows the students to gain knowledge and experience in attitude determination and control systems (ADCS) of a payload. Through Kalman filtering the attitude determination system (ADS) will be used to determine the flight dynamics. Then, an attitude control system (ACS), using a Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control scheme, will be used to maintain the correct orientation of the upper part of the payload. The team currently consists of approximately 12 undergraduate students from many disciplines from the IUPR-Bayamon campus. |
