Technology of Hardware and Software Modeling of Spacecraft Attitude Sensors Based on STM32 Microcontrollers

Abstract

Currently, the concept of hardware and software modeling of complex technical objects (CTO) has received rapid development, including in the space industry. The main feature of such objects is the presence of real-time control systems with a complex and sometimes heterogeneous structure. The concept of “X-In-the-Loop” has gained great popularity in foreign literature when considering modeling of CTO. Among the specialized software (SW) for modeling spacecraft (SC), it is worth highlighting open source SW that has sufficient documentation to understand their work and an active community on the Internet. This report proposes a hardware-software modeling technology based on Project 42 (SW for modeling of SC) and microcontroller (MC) STM32. To work with MC STM32 within the framework of this technology, the integrated development environment IAR Embedded Workbench is used.
