This week was spent mostly spent continuing to work on the demo programs for the AGC and studying more on the AXI-AGC interaction. For the demo, a simple visualization script running on Python will demonstrate the orbital mechanics calculations of the AGC. To do so, AXI will be used to send simulation mission data to the AGC, and after the AGC calculates required orbital delta-v or other parameters, will send the calculation results back to the AXI to the python script. I will be running a simple 3-body simulation of the Moon, Earth, and the space-craft. For the visualization library, I will most likely use matplotlib to plot a simple 3d motions of the planetary bodies and the spacecraft.
I will continue to work on finishing the DSKY firmware next week, especially since I am now aware of the I/O specifications from the AGC Verilog code. I will then finish up the AGC demo code.
