High-Precision Magnetic Testbed Design and Simulation for LEO Small-Satellite Control Test

Small satellites with academic missions in low Earth orbit (LEO) employ magnetic attitude control systems primarily due to their ease of development and low cost. These systems utilize magnetorquers to generate a magnetic moment that interacts with Earth’s magnetic field, enabling controlled rotatio...
