AstroROS

Spacecraft Orbit/Attitude Simulation

Introduction

This repository is for AstroROS : ADR simulator for On-Orbit Servicing.

This repo is a fork repo from https://github.com/uscl/AstroROS .

Every changes (even they are trivial) will be applied in this repo and revised version will be uploaded in original repository.

How to use AstroROS

1. Install ROS noetic(ubuntu 20.04)
2. Clone "reaction_wheel_tentacle_ws" (do not care about "orbit_simulator_matlab")

git clone https://github.com/MichaelBentlyOh/AstroROS.git

3. Get into "reaction_wheel_tentacle_ws" and build workspace

cd reaction_wheel_tentacle_ws && catkin build

4. Source "setup.bash" in workspace

source devel/setup.bash

5. Launch the project

roslaunch reaction_wheel_main gazebo.launch

Then, gazebo will open and there are two objects in gazebo world.

6. give command topics to tentacle satellite. For demo, I use "rqt".

(2024.07.02) This repository doesn't have tentacle command publisher. After update, command publisher will be added in this repo.
