Thrust Vector Control
Kit

The angle of a thruster is controlled by a linkage connected to a linear slide, driven by a rack and pinion.​

Learning Objectives Include

  • ​Modeling and simulation of dynamic systems

  • System identification and model validation

  • Linkage kinematics and kinetics

  • Linearization

  • Disturbance rejection

  • PID control

  • Discrete State-Space controller
