European Satellite Benchmark for Control Education and Industrial Training

Abstract

To overcome the innovation gap of the Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC) design process between research and industrial practice a benchmark of industrial relevance has been developed and is presented. This initiative is driven as well by the necessity to train future GNC engineers and the GNC space community on a set of identified complex problems. It allows to demonstrate the relevance of state-of-the-art modeling, control and analysis algorithms for future industrial adoption. The modeling philosophy for robust control synthesis, analysis including the control architecture that enables the simulation of the mission, i.e. the acquisition of a high pointing space mission, are provided.
