The Solar Sail Module is new to the version 7 release of the Spacecraft Control Toolbox. PSS has been developing sail analysis software since 2004 for both NASA's In-Space Propulsion program and the SBIR program. Our high-fidelity disturbance model enables users to simulate complex sail shapes without resorting to analytical approximations. You can study the nonlinear effects of different sail material properties and propellantless actuation schemes. The combination of these special sail CAD and dynamics models with control design tools from the core toolbox provide a complete sail attitude and orbit control analysis solution!
