Appendix for Section 2 - Purdue University

The following codes calculate the external torques based on gravity, magnetic field, solar radiaton and aerodynamic drag. The max torque is then used to calculate the size of the reaction wheels. The saturation time for the wheels is determined and the attitude control thruster burn time to do momentum dumps is found. %Pooja Agrawal %AAE 450 %calculation of max torques seen by the s/c. clear ... ................
