Path: CubeSat/Demos/Simulation
% Demonstrate a CubeSat attitude and power system dynamics.
This simulation includes drag and radiation pressure. The only actuator
available for attitude is magnetic torquers, which is modeled as a
dipole. Performs an animation at the end which may take a few minutes.
The satellite is initialized pointing to the Earth with a rotation equal
to orbit rate, to nominally maintain that pointing. The z body axis is
pointed towards the Earth (nadir).
Things to try:
1. Turn surface disturbances off by uncommenting the line setting
d.surfData to empty; notice that the altitude no longer drops.
2. Initialize the battery charge b0 to zero
3. Comment out or change the fixed dipole in the for loop
4. Try a 1U instead of a 3U
Since version 8.
