Space Station OS source

Prerequisites

• Ubuntu 22.04
• ROS 2 Humble (desktop install)

Installation

Common procedures for preparing Space Station OS:

• Install Ubuntu 22.04

• Install ROS 2 Humble (desktop install): https://docs.ros.org/en/humble/Installation/Ubuntu-Install-Debs.html

• Clone Space Station OS source

  cd /path/to/place/
  git clone https://github.com/space-station-os/space_station_os.git

• Compile Space Station OS source

  cd /path/to/place/space_station_os/
  colcon build --symlink-install
  source install/setup.bash

Demo1: Estimates of Nauka incident on ISS in July 2021 and more

Demo1 focuses on space station GNC features.

In Demo 1a, we estimate what happened and how the system and people reacted in the Nauka incident that occurred on the ISS in July 2021. https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2021/07/nauka-docking/ In Demo 1b, we prepared for an imaginary difficult case.

Through these cases, we will study the importance of determining fault detection, isolation and recovery (FDIR).

Procedures to run Demo 1a/1b

1. Terminal 1: handles scenario description and user input.

   • for Demo 1a

     ros2 run space_station_gnc demo1a_nauka_incident_estimate

   • for Demo 1b

     ros2 run space_station_gnc demo1b_crisis_mainengine

2. Terminal 2: handles space station propulsion system and attitude control dynamics, where the user (you) do not need to touch thereafter.

   • common for Demo 1a/1b

     ros2 launch space_station_gnc launch_gnc.py

3. Terminal 3: Visualization in RViz

   • We use RViz, a common tool for visualization in ROS 2.
   • common for Demo 1a/1b

     ros2 run rviz2 rviz2

   • Choose Fixed Frame, change from map to world
   • Add a robot visualization : Add -> RobotModel
   • Choose the Description Topic of the RobotModel: use /robot_description
   • You should now see the ISS model in rviz (you may need to zoom out)

4. Then you go back to Terminal 1 and follow the scenario in the console as the attitude of ISS is displayed in rviz2.
