Mission question
Attitude Acquisition: Tune for Faster Pointing
How do proportional gain, damping and torque limits change the time required to point a CubeSat?
Compare a deliberately weak baseline controller with a bounded tuned controller and explain the pointing-error trade-off.
1
Predict whether stronger bounded control will reduce the final pointing error.
2
Run the fixed baseline and inspect its error, body-rate and wheel-speed evidence.
3
Run the candidate intervention and compare settling time, control effort and saturation.
4
Explain why a faster response is not automatically a safer or more efficient response.
