Satellite Attitude Animation and Simulator

(SAAS v.1.0-beta.1)

Satellite Attitude Animation and Simulator (SAAS) is a tool that simulates satellite attitude describe by quaternions, and has the capability of inputting on-orbit data to animate actual behaviour, while plotting groundtrack data.

Modes

1. ATT_SIM: Provide simulation on user input quaternion and input environment
2. ATT_PROP: Based on INPUT_PROP.txt file for on-orbit satellite attitude simulation
