  • Abstract
    The greatest difficulty in implementing spacecraft control laws is that ground-based experiments must take place in a 1g environment, whereas the actual spacecraft will operate under 0g conditions. This article describes a spacecraft simulator facility used to educate undergraduates in spacecraft attitude dynamics and control.
