PROFILE
Andrew Morell
Over three months, contributed to AVSLab/basilisk by developing advanced simulation features for spacecraft dynamics and control. Built modular effector architectures supporting dynamic attachment, property linking, and multi-parent configurations, enabling more flexible and accurate modeling of spinning bodies and constrained dynamics. Enhanced simulation fidelity by integrating inertial property management and external force handling, while maintaining robust integration testing and clear documentation. Addressed a critical data capture regression and improved onboarding through new examples and technical writing. Leveraged C++, Python, and Eigen to deliver maintainable, object-oriented solutions that support complex scenarios, visualization, and reliable state propagation for aerospace research and development.

Sep 1, 2025In September 2025, AVSLab/basilisk delivered key simulation enhancements that enable richer, more flexible experiments and streamline integration of external forces. The team introduced multi-parent attachment for constrain-based effectors, enabling branching configurations and complex attachments, and extended ExtForceTorque to attach to state effectors, increasing integration options for external dynamics. These changes include refactoring state and property linking to support multi-parent scenarios and added integrated tests to ensure reliability across scenarios. Together, these improvements improve modeling fidelity, reuse, and scalability for researchers and developers, while maintaining strong test coverage and maintainable design.
