A 6-DoF Satellite Virtual Simulator Design and Development

Article Preview

Abstract:

Virtual simulation is one of the best methods for training students and understanding events and has been used in many fields of science yet, for example: space researches. For this reason, creating of an environment that can simulate the operations of satellites will be very usable and appropriate. This paper will present the details of a newly constructed 6-DoF experimental Satellite Virtual Simulator (SVS) facility at the Space Research Laboratory (SRL) at the K.N.Toosi University of Technology. SVS is used for studying the translational and rotational motions of a satellite and testing the control and communication concepts. The main components of the facility are 3-D screens, video projectors, user interface, central server system, 3-D glasses for users and its modeling software.
