This page describes the architecture for the Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) system for the Sequoia project. Since this system is primarily focused on determining and controlling attitude, we also may refer to it as ADCS.
Sequoia GNC Onboarding
No matter what background you have, you can contribute to Sequoia GNC! You can learn about the intersection between physics, CS, and engineering and especially control theory. Here's a few aspects of our system we currently need someone to work on:
