test_MRP_steeringUnit.test_mrp_steering_tracking(show_plots, K1, K3, omegaMax)[source]

Validation Test Description

This unit test compares the computed \(\pmb\omega_{\mathcal{B}^{\ast}/\mathcal{R}}\) and \(\pmb\omega_{\mathcal{B}^{\ast}/\mathcal{R}}'\) to truth values computed in the python unit test.

Test Parameters

This test checks a set of gains K1, K3 and omegaMax on a rigid body with no external torques, and with a fixed input reference attitude message. The commanded rate solution is evaluated against python computed values at 0s, 0.5s and 1s to within a tolerance of \(10^{-12}\).

Parameters:

  • show_plots – flag indicating if plots should be shown.

  • K1 – The control gain \(K_1\)

  • K3 – The control gain \(K_3\)

  • omegaMax – The control gain \(\omega_{\text{max}}\)

Returns:

void
