Integrated Example Scripts¶
To learn how to use Basilisk it is often convenient to study sample scripts and see how they were implemented. Below are a series of example Basilisk scripts grouped by topics and complexity. In each script the primary simulation is executed by the run method. The reader can learn from this implementation and the numerous associated in-line comments. The first sections illustrate how to setup simple spacecraft simulations and then the following sections begin to add more complexity.
The example script source code can be viewed directly within the browser by clicking on the Source link next to the run method name as shown in the image below:
The python code contains additional comments to explain what is being setup and tested here. The example instructions are all stored as extensive comments within the python script. Read the script source to study how this example functions.
