Overview

The Attitude package of the PATRIUS library has been developed according to the SIRIUS Scope Statement [A1]. The themes developed are described hereafter :

Directions

Implementation of directions of space that can evolve in time.

Attitude laws

Several attitude laws are available. These laws were originally designed for orbit determination needs: in order to broaden their applications, a wrapper object has been created to meet the spacecraft attitude field needs.

Attitudes sequence

Implementation of an attitudes sequence for orbit determination: it is possible to define an attitude law as a series of attitude laws in the context of a propagation.

Attitude legs sequence

Implementation for spacecraft attitude field of an attitude sequence: it is possible to define an attitude leg as a series of attitude legs.

Attitude composition

Implementation of an object that enables to define an attitude law as a composition of several laws.

Slew

Implementation of slew. Slews are used in the attitudes sequence to define the transition between two laws.

Kinematics

Implementation of a tool box for kinematics calculations.

Guidance command

Implementation of the ground and the on-board guidance commands. The first one is computed, the second one is simulated. In both cases, it should be possible to compute the guidance command from a law and to consider the guidance command itself as a law.
