Basilisk v2.4.0
-
Added a new example scenario
scenarioConstrainedDynamics
demonstrating post-docked spacecraft dynamics -
Created a
constraintDynamicEffector
dynamics module to couple separate spacecraft motion using holonomic
constraints -
Removed the depreciated manner of creating python modules
-
Created a new example scenario
scenarioTempMeasurementAttitude
demonstrating the use of tempMeasurement module and generating random noise in the measurement. -
Uncaught exceptions raised in Python modules are now printed to
stderr
before the program is terminated. -
Updated Basilisk and Vizard logos and provided download links

Added a new N-axis spinning effector
spinningBodyNDOFStateEffector
. This is an expansion ofspinningBodyOneDOFStateEffector
andspinningBodyTwoDOFStateEffector
to any number of degrees of freedom. -
Update the Windows build to automatically include the Math library defines. This avoids having
to include them in BSK source code files individually. -
Added support for arrays and 2D arrays of 16 and 64 bit integers in message definitions
-
Fixed bug where 2D arrays of 32 bit integers would have elements of type
float
in python. -
Fixed the
Identity()
method in avsEigenMRP library. -
Fixed the
SpiceInterface::initTimeData()
method to write epoch strings with microsecond precision instead of 0.1 second precision
to prevent SPICE errors when epochs ending with seconds higher than 59.95 seconds got rounded up to 60.0 seconds -
Update
dynamicEffector
andstateEffector
classes to be able to pull the state engine names of the
spacecraft hub object -
The fuel tank module is refactored to remove the limitation of a only being able to have a single instance of a
specific tank model type. -
Update Basilisk documentation build system to use latest version of
sphinx
andsphinx_rtd_theme
-
Added time tag to
CSSArraySensorMsgPayload
-
updated Eigen library to 3.4.0
-
updated OpenCV library to 4.5.5
-
Added support for Vizard 2.2.0
-
Added documentation on using pre-commit formatters and clang formating
-
Added two new scenarios that use the
spinningBodyNDOFStateEffector
module.scenarioRoboticArm
simulates
a robotic arm that changes orientation through the use of theprescribedRotation1DOF
profiler module.
scenarioFlexiblePanel
simulates a flexible panel that has torsional and bending modes, which are approximated
though a lumped-mass approach and discretized to as many subpanels as needed. -
Fixed
protectAllClasses
method inBasilisk.architecture.swig_common_model
so that it actually protects the classes
in the given module (prevents code from setting unknown attributes). This might impact user code that depended on adding
additional attributes to python classes generated by SWIG. -
Updated install instructions to specify python version 3.8 to 3.11 are required. Python 3.12 does yet work.
-
Updated
bskPrinciples-6
to discuss how to log private C++ module variables that have a getter method -
Updated
cppModuleTemplate
to make user configurable variables private, accessed via setter and getter methods -
Updated
makeDraftModule
to make C++ modules with private module variables using setter/getter methods -
Updated
cppModules-1
to discuss the new expectation that C++ modules are all private. This enables
graceful module variable depreciation if needed. -
Added support for numpy 2.0.
-
Fixed use of spherical coordinate system in
magneticFieldWMM
model. -
Added ability to run the GitHub
pull_request.yml
action on a select branch -
Fixed mass depletion rate bug in
thrusterStateEffector
previously fixed at 100% -
Enhanced
solarArrayReference
with a mode that can compute the reference for the solar arrays that maximizes SRP torque opposed to current RW net momentum. -
(Beta) Added PEP-517-compliant project specification, providing initial support for installation via
pip install .
.- NOTE: This is primarily intended to support pre-compiled releases in the future. All users are recommended to continue
usingpython conanfile.py
installation for now.

The
cmake
command now downloads large Spice data files automatically from the JPL server. -
Updated Conan/CMake build system to avoid unnecessary recompilations and greatly speed up rebuilds.
