Abstract
This paper describes the design of space environment module that is used for validation of Attitude Determination and Control Systems (ADCS) control algorithms for LEO Satellites. This module is the major block of a complete AOCS simulator, the other blocks of which are the sensors, actuators and control algorithms. The space environment module includes orbit propagator, GPS time, Sun model, magnetic field model and spacecraft attitude kinematics and dynamics. The performance of the module will 1 spacecraft. The Kompsat-1 results are generated in Satellite Tool Kit (STK) which will serve as a reference for space environment results verification
