• Abstract:

  This article aims to present the development of a Human-Machine Interface (HMI) for the dynamic ADCS (Attitude Determination and Control System) simulator for nanosatellites, developed by LAC/EPUSP, and validated with flight data from the PicSat satellite (Observatory of Paris), to be applied in the CASSTOR mission, in partnership with the Paris Observatory. This way, a user with little experience in ADCS can perform dynamic simulations with the help of the interface, in which the parameters of the satellite in question, disturbances, initial conditions, control modes are inserted, in addition to viewing the results of the simulations to validate the subsystem design. In this interface, all the functionalities of the PicSat mission, adopted in the dynamic simulator, were integrated. And new features related to the CASSTOR mission are being added.
