Hi Eric, how are you? I'm here again.

I've been working on attitude estimation using QUEST to estimate the quaternions and EKF to filter it and estimate my non-measured states (angular velocities). I can track quaternions very well even when there are a lot of noise. However, I can't track the angular velocities, even without any noise. As you know, as better my model is, better are the estimation of the velocities, so I compared my discrete model with 42, using the same initial conditions and moments of inertia and verified a difference in \omega_y showed in the pic below:

I'm using something like that to my satellite model:

Now I'm wondering what is wrong with my model, that's why I can't track the velocities well (my guess).

Any guess about it? Is 42's satellite model similar (intrinsically)?

Best regards,

Robinson.

It was my mistake converting data from the output file to Matlab.
