Path: CubeSat/AttitudeControl
% Compute the inertia of a TubeSat. This assumes a cylindrical shape and the mass is uniformly distributed throught the volume. This is a good first cut. Type InertiaTubeSat for a demo. See also TubeSatFaces. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Form: inertia = InertiaTubeSat( type, mass ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ Inputs ------ l (1,1) Either (1,2,3,4) for single, double, triple or quad mass (1,1) Mass (kg) ------- Outputs ------- inertia (3,3) Inertia matrix (kg-m^2) ------------------------------------------------------------------------
