RHSReactionWheel:

Path: SCPro/DynamicalModels

% Computes the right hand side for a spacecraft with reaction wheels.
 The wheels can have damping and Coulomb friction and stiction.
 If you call it without any arguments it will return the default data
 structure.

 The inertia of the body does not include the RWA polar inertia.

 RWA stands for reaction wheel assembly.

 The default data structure is for 3 orthogonal reaction wheels.
