Abstract

Abstract Space exploration continues to inspire humanity, with nanosatellites standing at the forefront of critical sectors like remote sensing, telecommunications, and meteorology. In this panorama, accurately determining their attitude is a considerable challenge. Addressing this, our research delves into the application of the well-known TRIAD algorithm. Utilizing four distinct vectors - two reference and two observed - sourced from solar position vectors and the magnetic field, we implemented the algorithm in the NUCLEO-F303RE microcontroller, equipped with the ARM® Cortex® M4 architecture. By carefully corrupting the observed vectors using data from prospective sensors, realized through the Systems Tool Kit software, we aspired to simulate real-world conditions. While tools like STK® for simulations are not new globally, they remain relatively unknown to many Mexican students. By introducing these resources, we aim to pave the way for future researchers at the Mexican Space Agency (AEM), bolstering Mexico’s ongoing journey in space exploration.
