Stanford Space Robotics facility: overview and capabilities
Показать описание
The Stanford Space Robotics Facility allows researchers to test innovative guidance and navigation algorithms on a realistic frictionless, underactuated system.
The testbed includes a spacecraft equipped with 8 bang-bang blow-down cold gas thrusters and a 7 kg momentum wheel navigating a frictionless 9 x 12 ft air table. Position and attitude are estimated through an Optitrack motion tracking system; on-board processing and communication capabilities are ensured by an off-the-shelf Linux computer.
