Static closed loop test system for attitude control system of micro satellite RISING-2

50-kg class micro satellite RISING-2 is now under development by Tohoku University and Hokkaido University. The development is at Flight Model phase. The main mission of the RISING-2 is Earth surface observations with 5-m resolution using a Cassegrain telescope with 10-cm diameter and 1-m focal length. Accurate attitude control capability with less than 0.1 deg direction errors and less than 0.02 deg/s angular velocity errors is required to realize this observation. The attitude control system realizes 3-axis stabilization for the observation by means of star sensors, gyro sensors, sun attitude sensors and reaction wheels. In this paper the static closed loop test system for the attitude control system of the RISING-2 is described. This test system is the simulation including the hardware of the attitude control system of the RISING-2. The results of the tests show that the pointing error is very larger than the results of software simulation.
