Type of course
Course contents
This course teaches the students how to build a satellite simulator through a series of tutorial-like lectures with accompanying assignments. Through a series of 10 assignments, the students will be able to model and simulate a satellite operating in an elliptical orbit. Specifically, the course will cover:
- Orbital Mechanics
- Sun vector modelling
- Magnetic field modelling
- Attitude determination
- Attitude control
- Actuators
- Thrusters
- Reaction wheels
- Magnetic torquers
- Actuation strategies
- Bang-bang
- Pulse width modulation
- Pulse width pulse frequency modulation
- Sensors and sensor noise

Coursework / Course requirements
The course has a total of 10 assignments that needs to be completed through this course. A minimum 8 of 10 assignments must be approved to be allowed to go up to examination.
Examination and assessment The examination is an oral exam where the students will get time to do a simulation assignment, before explaining the results and show his/hers understanding of the course content.
A-F grading scale are given, where F is not passed.
A re-sit exam will be arranged for students that have passed the coursework requirement.
The examination language is English.
Date for examination
The date for the exam can be changed. The final date will be announced at your faculty early in May and early in November.
