This Major Qualifying Project outlines the design and analysis of the Attitude Determination and Control System, the Guidance and Navigation System, along with the Telemetry and Communications System of a constellation of 12U CubeSats. These CubeSats are designed for the purpose of detecting small-diameter space debris in Low Earth Orbit. This project also involves the development of a Helmholtz Cage and Low Friction Table, which are utilized for ground tests of control systems in a simulated orbital environment.
