European Satellite Benchmark for Control Education & Industrial Training

This project is constituted of the sofware package of the "European Satellite Benchmark for Control Education & Industrial Training" and its corresponding user manual. The software, implemented in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment, provides to the user a full scenario for the stabilization of a telescope spacecraft mission with fine pointing requirements. The software in particular is constituted of:

1) A scalable analysis and synthesis model, specifically a Linear Fractional Transformation (LFT) model of the complex telescope space mission generated with SDTlib (https://dycsyt.com/sdtlib/), which enables to perform tasks at various levels of granularity (i.e. syhthesis of control algorithms)

2) An open equivalent non-linear high-fidelity simulator developed in Simscape and validated with SDTlib for time-domain V&V analysis. It provides a validation platform to analyze proposed controlled system laws in a more complex scenario by including transitory behaviours, complex phenomena like friction and strong nonlinearities like saturations or PWM signals. An overview of the elements composing the high-fidelity model, which will enable the simulation of the mission scenario and the assessment of the user’s proposed control architecture, as well as support other potential activities.
