Wheel Plots
Swapping magnetic torque rods for reaction wheels in the CubeSat attitude simulator: the control settles far faster, at the cost of wheels that slowly saturate.

Preliminary Plots 2
How the CubeSat actually reorients itself: modeling magnetic torque rods in the simulator, and plotting the required torques, extracted dipole moments, and per-rod current draw.

Preliminary Plots
The first working cut of an upgraded MATLAB attitude-dynamics simulator for a 3U CubeSat: background on Euler's rotational equations, plus the first orientation and angular-velocity plots.
