8. Attitude Determination, Control, and Sensing
8.3 General Design Process
- Allocate mission and system requirements:
- Evaluate candidate architectures: consider potential ADCS technologies, see Sensing and Actuators.
- Establish functional requirements of the ADCS system from payload and spacecraft bus, see Typical Requirements and Design Considerations.
- Create dynamic simulation for later verification if ADCS system meets requirements, see Dynamics.
- Analyze determination and control algorithms in simulation to verify if ADCS system meets requirements, see Determination and Control Algorithms.
