ENH: Add Thrust Vector Control (TVC) #154

Open rodneyosodo opened 2 years ago

rodneyosodo commented 2 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

If we have a reaction wheel or a TVC is there a way we can be able to determine the flight profile while incorporating our control methods?

Additional context

Being able to integrate control methods

Thanks for the feature request @0x6f736f646f! RocketPy can support some types of controllers currently, but TVC (Thrust Vector Control) and reaction wheels are not currently supported.

We can start working on this feature request and create a new branch for it. Implementation shouldn't be hard, and a couple of weeks should be enough to finish it. However, we would need some help to validate our code, especially with people with more expertise in control laws.

Would you be willing to help on validation and/or implementation?

rodneyosodo commented 2 years ago

The whole team @nakujaproject is willing to help.

I believe you are in our discord server, is that right?

I'll reach out over there to continue our conversation!

rodneyosodo commented 2 years ago

Yes. No problem

Adding @MateusStano to this thread since he is our expert on Controlling rockets with more than just regular fins !!

@MateusStano, do you mind sending me your current implementation of control laws?
