Aerospace Blockset for Xcos
Contents
Introduction
This is the report of Paweł Zagórski for the GSOC 2012 on the project "Aerospace Blockset for Xcos" detailed at:
Contributor - Aerospace blockset
Detailed Timeline
* April 23 – May 20 (bonding period) – Fixing few Xcos bugs, preparing simple examples in CelestLab itself.
(objective: Familiarization with Xcos backend, learning CelestLab basics)
* May 21 – Jun 4 – work on basic data input/output blocks, utilities
- (objective: High priority Utility blocks done)
* Jun 5 – Jun 18 – work on Equation of motion library
- (objective: High priority Equations of Motion blocks done)
* Jun 19 – July 2 – work on GNC and Environmental model blocks
- (objective: High priority GNC and Environmental Model blocks done)
* Jun 3 – July 9 – work on Aerospace Toolbox demo
- (objective: Aerospace Blockset demo example done)
* July 10 - July 13 – Working on MTE (objective: Mid-term evaluation submission) * July 14 – July 30 – prepare initial version for ATOMS, work on medium priority blocks
- (objective: Initial module ready for publishing on ATOMS is done)
* July 31 - August 13 – work on medium, low priority blocks
- (objective: Extend functionality)
* August 14 – August 20 – Refining documentation, extra automatic tests as needed, fixing bugs.
- (objective: Deliver polished end-product to ATOMS)
* August 21 - August 24 – Working on Final Evaluation (objective: Final evaluation submission)

Satellite on orbit |
DONE |
Shows how to propagate satellite position based on keplerian orbit elements and plot groundtrack trajectory. |
Ground station accessibility |
DONE |
Shows how to propagate satellite position based on keplerian orbit elements, calculate access times to multiple groundstations and visualise the data. |
