Tasked with the literature review of rocket bending analysis and building the flexible-body linearized state space representation. Additionally, I worked on deriving the requirements for the flexible-body controller and helped in adapting the gain tuning tool for the flexible vehicle. I also built export scripts for translating data from non-linear simulator to simpler formats for other teams.

Completed the review and documentation of the existing plant model, and the attitude controller gain tuning scripts. After gaining enough insight into the existing systems I was able to analyze new controller topologies for better performance of the attitude controller, and build a new gain-tuning script. Performance of the controller gains derived from the script would be validated for further use in the non-linear simulator.
