The paper describes the experimental ADCS mode of the NEMO-HD satellite, built in the cooperation between SPACE-SI and Space Flight Laboratory, University of Toronto. In the experimental ADCS mode several imaging modes will be implemented such as fixed target observation, path tracking target observation, area sweep mode and spread area sweep mode. A Matlab-Simulink based simulator was designed, which accurately incorporates the astrodynamics and the kinematics of the satellite in real time. It also provides the images of the observed target by means of the Active-X connection to the Google Earth. The results of simulations demonstrate the applicability of the proposed imaging modes to be implemented on the NEMO-HD satellite, which is planned to be launched in 2015.
