CaNOP 3U CubeSat Attitude Determination and Control Testing System: Helmholtz Cage Design — Presentation Detail — Celebration of Scholars

Instructions

Student presentations must have a faculty sponsor.

Abstracts must include a title and a description of the research, scholarship, or creative work. The description should be 150-225 words in length and constructed in a format or style appropriate for the presenter’s discipline.

The following points should be addressed within the selected format or style for the abstract:

A clear statement of the problem or question you pursued, or the scholarly goal or creative theme achieved in your work.
A brief comment about the significance or uniqueness of the work.
A clear description of the methods used to achieve the purpose or goals for the work.
A statement of the conclusions, results, outcomes, or recommendations, or if the work is still in progress, the results you expect to report at the event.

Presenter photographs should be head and shoulder shots comparable to passport photos.

Abstract

Canopy Near Infrared Observing Project (CaNOP) is a WSGC-funded 3U CubeSat program to make multispectral reflectance measurements across a range of global forests. The project requires active attitude knowledge and control. This poster describes the design and construction of a test apparatus to validate the detumbling and attitude control systems of the CaNOP satellite. The apparatus generates a uniform 3-axis adjustable magnetic field to simulate on-orbit magnetic conditions. A Helmholtz cage implements six coils to create a region of uniform and adjustable magnetic field in which to test the orientation and attitude determination and control systems of a satellite.
